How to call another function within the same object with JavaScript?
To call another function within the same object with JavaScript, we can use this

For instance, we write:
const role = {
test(variable) {
this.toLog(variable);
},
toLog(variable) {
console.log(variable);
}
};
role.test(5);
to call role.test
with 5.
In test
, we call this.toLog
to call the toLog
function in role
.
Therefore, 5 is logged.
