Can you bind 'this' in an arrow function?

Question

I\'ve been experimenting with ES6 for a while now, and I\'ve just come to a slight problem.

I really like using arrow functions, and whenever I can, I use them.

Answer 1

Short, You CANNOT bind arrow functions, but read on:

Imagine you have this arrow function below which prints this on the console:

const myFunc = ()=> console.log(this);

So the quick fix for this would be using normal function, so just change it to:

function myFunc() {console.log(this)};

Then you can bind it to any lexical environment using bind or call or apply:

const bindedFunc = myFunc.bind(this);

and call it in case of bind.

bindedFunc();

There are also ways to using eval() to do it, which strongly not recommended.
