Calling a method from another method in the same class

Question

Why am I getting the error: \"Uncaught TypeError: self.myTest is not a function\"? How do I call a method from within another method in a javascript class?

Answer 1

You need to use this not self like

runMyTest() {
  this.myTest();
}

However a lot of implementations like to keep the reference and are doing the following:

var self = this;

That might be the reason you were thinking of self as self reference. For further reading I'd suggest this SO - post
