Accessing outer scope from inner scope
Is this possible?
Yes, you can assign this
reference to another variable and then call function y
on it
this.z = function() {
var self = this;
this.A = function() {
self.y();
}
}
Version with bind
, basically this adds a new method a
to the object.
var X = function () {
this.y = function () {
document.write('y<br>');
}
this.z = function () {
document.write('z<br>');
this.a = function () {
document.write('a<br>');
this.y();
}
}.bind(this);
};
var x = new X;
//x.a(); // does not exist
x.z(); // z
x.a(); // a y
Working example with saved inner this
.
var X = function () {
var that = this; // <--
this.y = function () {
document.write('y<br>');
}
this.Z = function () {
document.write('Z<br>');
this.a = function () {
document.write('a<br>');
that.y();
}
}
}
var x = new X,
z = new x.Z; // Z
z.a(); // a y
