arrow functions and this keyword code example
Example 1: js arrow function this
const person = {
firstName: 'Viggo',
lastName: 'Mortensen',
fullName: function () {
return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`
},
shoutName: function () {
setTimeout(() => {
//keyword 'this' in arrow functions refers to the value of 'this' when the function is created
console.log(this);
console.log(this.fullName())
}, 3000)
}
}
Example 2: Arrow Functions
// The usual way of writing function
const magic = function() {

// Arrow function syntax is used to rewrite the function
const magic = () => {
return new Date();
};
//or
const magic = () => new Date();
