Refer to class inside of static method without using its name

Question

How can I refer to a class from a static method without using the class name itself in JavaScript (similar to PHP\'s self and self::method_name)?<

Answer 1

You can use the this keyword to refer to the object itself.

See example below:

class FooBar {
  static foo() {
    return 'foo';
  }

  static bar() {
    return 'bar';
  }

  static foobar() {
    return this.foo() + this.bar();
    // self::foo() + self::bar() would have been more desirable.
  }
}

const res = FooBar.foobar();
console.log(res);
