In addition to closures, there is another concept that is difficult to understand in JS that should bear the brunt: this. This thing is often confused by people, so today we will take a closer look at its true appearance.
Define an object:
var Charles = { living: true, age:23, gender:male, getGender:function(){ return Charles.gender; } }; console.log(Charles.getGender()); //输出:male
The following code has the same effect:
var Charles = { living: true, age:23, gender:male, getGender:function(){ return this.gender; //注意“this” } }; console.log(Charles.getGender()); //输出:male
So, what does this refer to in the code? How should we analyze it, because sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the true identity of this in a specific environment. So, now, you need to remember one sentence:
When the host function of this value is encapsulated in another function, or called in the context of another function, this value is always for the global (head/window) object Quote.
In other words, the this value is inside the nested function and always points to window for ES5.
var myObject = { myProperty: 'I can see the light', myMethod: function(){ var that = this; console.log(this); //输出:'Object(这里是myObject)' var helperFunction = function(){ console.log(that.myProperty); // 输出'I can see the light' console.log(this); //如果不使用`that`,则输出'window',因为是在嵌套函数里面 }(); //立即执行 } } myObject.myMethod(); //调用 myMethod
Combined with the above sentence, for ES5, this is the situation:
var myObject = { func1: function(){ console.log(this); //输出 'Object'(第一层函数) var func2= function(){ console.log(this); //从此处开始,this都是window(第二层函数) var func3= function(){ console.log(this); //当然是window }(); }(); } } myObject.func1();
As shown in the picture
At this point, you should understand the position of this in JS, and I believe it will not be divided again in the future Not sure anymore.
