The THIS keyword, from the series "10 Things JS Developers Should Know"
by ColorCode.io, Sina Jazayeri
Today, for episode 6, we’re talking about the THIS keyword, how context and execution logic changes the value of the 'this' keyword, and how arrow functions affect the value? Episode 6: The THIS keyword. Let’s go!

[@intazoid]

*_this_* was a great explanation 🥁

[@lsudo]

@1_________________ interesting name

[@intazoid]

@@lsudo Thanks!

[@Other-or-so]

This this explanation was this 😁 great indeed, needed.
This this thing in js is not to be dissed.

[@AvenDonn]

Screw this I'm going back to C#
What do you mean this is undefined?!?!

[@sidheshwartiwari9834]

Lmao 🤣🤣

[@Jord8043]

My life becomes undefined when working with JS 😅

[@elenaquerida]

I gave C# a try but it didn't manage to captivate me the way Rust would way later

[@wassupbaby8634]

Screw that i am going back to python.

[@Chike_Odor]

I'm coming with. Get ready for some insane boilerplate

[@edualfred]

These short videos are amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@ColorCodeio]

Thank you 🙏

[@federicobau8651]

Not the full explanation but what u could explain in that short amount of time with such clarity is impressive.

[@one.mr.benjamin]

Dude. Your way of presentation is soo simple. ❤ thanks

[@ColorCodeio]

Happy to help

[@hamadsherazi6896]

Brother trust me, this is the best content on TH-cam. No one goes that deep on TH-cam as you did in most of your videos

[@ColorCodeio]

I appreciate that

[@harshithvenkat6446]

man, your way of explaining is amazing.👍

[@ColorCodeio]

Thanks!

[@vikashtiwari6201]

Its like an Achievement when you completely starts getting this keyword

[@kanavgupta4930]

Great explanation 👍

[@VipulAnand751]

In JavaScript everything is by reference useful explanation in this short. Thanks

[@HamiddNasr]

That was soo cool!
Thank you sina :))

[@_gigachad177]

Ty sir, I'm learning js rn

[@ColorCodeio]

Keep it up

[@yuridesideri7144]

Nice, really like your work!!

[@ColorCodeio]

Ty!

[@nandomax3]

If people started coding with Java, they would have no problem understanding JS this

[@xskrish]

+1

[@kostas_x]

TIL: Steve Woodmore. I'll leave "this" for another day...🤣 Thank you Sina! You always bring a smile to our faces, no matter the topic. Have you considered Stand up JavaScript comedy?

[@ColorCodeio]

hah too niche

[@aamirkhan-jd7mj]

I like your explanation

[@sach8706]

Este canal es completamente increíble 😼

[@sobanya_228]

Wow, that's a blast from the past.

[@Uri.Sab.]

According Mozilla's docs this is for me the correct way to implementing OOP properly. If you don't code OOP like it suppose to be, this keyword could be a headache... as a C++ programmer i like this in JS. I learned that by hard way uwu

[@Krazy0]

I understood what it meant when I heard it's basically self

[@ildaphonse]

Ok explanation, a little confusing even though it's a simple concept, though very important to go over.

[@simonshurety3870]

I had to google Steve Woodmore...

[@HariPec-ts1bl]

Googling after your comment

[@azhar6842]

"this" is the object of which the function is a property of.

[@tesstrader5908]

you said you would help me understand, you have betrayed me

[@hadawardgz]

Just to say that in modules or if you are using II(A)FE the keyword this will be undefined

[@udhayakumarr9392]

Can you make a shorts for css rid explanation sir ?

[@andrewshaban2888]

It's easy when it's not an arrow function

[@TMinusRecords]

Wow, I didn't know you could arbituarily set the value of `this` with `.call(val)`. Also, what does `this` outside of a function return when JS isn't being run in a browser (i.e node js)?

[@ZealForSouls]

Google each specifically
Generally, it's always a kind of a global namespace

[@MobiusCoin]

JavaScript is lexically scoped except for this.

[@nathanbustamante1525]

Most of the time you just need an arrow function

[@mohammadlee]

great idea to make shorts on tech! Please don't use an intro in a short. It would be way better without the intro. Subscribed :-)

[@oleksandrleskiv]

it depends on where is this

[@brute9303]

where is full explanation. please.. share url...

[@radovankrizalkovic9084]

Full explanation over where mate? Can't find it :(

[@AdventMoxy]

Confusion and bugs = JavaScript untyped languages

[@sickair45]

Hard to hear you with the music.

[@SquaredbyX]

Does 'this' have anything to do with the depreciation of the ' var' keyword...

[@ColorCodeio]

Not to my knowledge

[@merajkhan5078]

Javascript is really scared me😢

[@ciprianparaschiv7591]

Dude you're a great teacher. But why do you feel the need to cuss in like 80% of your shorts?

[@ColorCodeio]

It’s just the way I speak sometimes

[@ВладимирАндреев-ф6т]

I don't understand with "call"!!!

[@asdqwe4427]

I have not used it in years

[@unknownguywholovespizza]

*_this_*

[@sriharviruma_m]

what font is that ??

[@BhupendraXJogi]

Why are you not uploading anymore??

[@ColorCodeio]

Life events. I'm back as of late September.

[@BhupendraXJogi]

@@ColorCodeio glad to see you back

[@jeetviramgama4392]

What's bind?

[@Mikemestergaming]

I like Java

[@truedivan]

Thanks man, appreciate it)

[@computeraidedyami]

what camera do you use to do your videos?

[@sandysandilya3852]

I hope and pray God that you understand what you say

[@69k_gold]

Anything related to web dev makes no sense. That's an intentional feature.

[@AyyBee1234]

I like to see .this as a demon depending on who summons it reflects the personality of that person.
I am here who summoned me…. wait I summoned me

[@ColorCodeio]

Haha amazing metaphor

[@donathmm3881]

So confusing

[@sennaevil]

Then take it out of js

[@5uperM]

I hate these quick explanations because they never give you enough time to process what you heard and overwrite it with new information and replace it with visual effects and fluff making you have to rewatch it multiple times and giving them views.

[@ColorCodeio]

TH-cam Shorts only allow up to 60 seconds. It takes an enormous amount of time and energy to write, record, edit, and animate these videos. Having done this for over decade I can tell you there are far easier ways to get views than to trick people the way you suggested. So, you might not like the format and that's ok, but you are wrong about my intentions.

[@5uperM]

@@ColorCodeio well alright. i hope the actual videos eplain things better.

[@larssmeets773]

How about don't use javascript classes and go for functional programming :)

[@alext5497]

Absolutely. Dont bother learning stuff you dont like. Its too hars anyway.

[@fieryscorpion]

C# is million times better than this miserable language. Lol

[@TheSmokinApples]

this is why I hate JS

[@Javascript_view]

You make too complicated 😢😢

[@mhalton]

Fail.
