Can you explain the scope of 'this' in arrow functions?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! In arrow functions, 'this' is lexically bound, meaning it inherits 'this' from the surrounding context.

You

How does that differ from regular functions?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

In regular functions, 'this' is determined by how the function is called, which can lead to different values.

😀
You

Can you give me an example of both?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Absolutely! In a regular function, 'this' can refer to the global object or the object that calls the function. In an arrow function, 'this' will always refer to the enclosing context.

😀
You

What happens if I use 'this' inside a method of an object?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

In a method, 'this' refers to the object the method is called on. If you use an arrow function inside that method, 'this' will refer to the outer context instead.
