Understanding this in Methods
Understanding how the this keyword works in JavaScript is crucial for working with object methods. The value of this is not fixed. It is dynamic and determined by how a function is called. In the context of object methods, this usually refers to the object that owns the method. This dynamic nature allows methods to access and manipulate the data stored within their own object.
12345678const car = { brand: "Toyota", getBrand: function() { return this.brand; } }; console.log(car.getBrand()); // "Toyota"
In the example above, the car object has a property called brand and a method called getBrand. Inside the getBrand method, this.brand refers to the brand property of the car object. When you call car.getBrand(), JavaScript sets this to point to the car object, so the method returns "Toyota".
However, because this is dynamic, its value can change depending on how the method is called. If you assign the getBrand method to another object, this will refer to the new object instead.
1234567891011121314const car = { brand: "Toyota", getBrand: function() { return this.brand; } }; const bike = { brand: "Trek" }; bike.getBrand = car.getBrand; console.log(bike.getBrand()); // "Trek"
