How to access a method of a closure's parent object?
- by Bytecode Ninja
I have defined a class named MyClass and I have defined two methods myMethod1 and myMethod2 for it:
function MyClass() {}
MyClass.prototype.myMethod1 = function() {...};
MyClass.prototype.myMethod2 = function() {...};
Inside myMethod1, I use jQuery and there's a callback closure defined there:
MyClass.prototype.myMethod2 = function() {
$.jQuery({success: function(data) {
this.myMethod2();
}, ...});
}
Now the problem is that this no longer is referring to MyClass. The question is how can I refer to it? At the moment I have assigned it to a variable named thisObj and access it this way:
MyClass.prototype.myMethod2 = function() {
var thisObj = this;
$.jQuery({success: function(data) {
thisObj.myMethod2();
}, ...});
}
Is there a better way to access MyClass.this from the closure nested in myMethod2?
Thanks in advance.
