Calling class methods within jQuery function

Question

So I have some javascript class and in one method I use jQuery to bind function to click event. And within this function I need to call other methods of this class. In usual js function I did it through "this.method_name()", but here, I guess, jQuery redefines "this" pointer.

Answer 1

jQuery doesn't redefine the this pointer, but that's how JavaScript functions work in general. Store a reference to the this pointer under a different name, and use that.

var self = this;
$("selector").click(function() {
    self.method_name();
});
