Typescript - Global function?

问题

I'm trying to call a function from a 5-deep nested function in Typescript, and it's not able to see the outside function. Running console.log(this) inside of setTimeout returns the window object.

export class SearchComponent implements OnInit {


lifeCycleFunc(){    //Function 1
    ...

    if() {                //Function 2
        ....

        var.do(item => {        //Function 3
            ....

            var.forEach(var => {      //Function 4
                ...

                setTimeout(function(){    //Function 5

                    this.searchFunc()        //this.searchForAssignments is not a function
                }
            })
        })
    }
}

searchFunc(){
    ...
}


}

this context inside setTimeout callback is going to be global object (window), but it should be SearchComponent class for this code to work correctly. To achieve that all nested functions including setTimeout callback should be arrow functions to bind this context correctly:

export class SearchComponent implements OnInit {    
    lifeCycleFunc(){
        ...

        if(condition) {
            ...

            foo.do(bar => {
                ...

                bar.forEach(baz => {
                    ...

                    setTimeout(() => {  
                        this.searchFunc();
                    }, 0);
                });
           });
       }
    }

    searchFunc(){
      ...
    }
}

To answer your question and your comment about making it an arrow function, you do this:

setTimeout(() => {  
    this.searchFunc();
}, 0);

instead of:

setTimeout(function() {  
    this.searchFunc();
}, 0);

回答3:

var.forEach(var => {    //Function 3
            ...

            this.searchFunc()     //TypeError: this.searchForAssignments is not a function
        }.bind(this))

The this reference inside the forEach is the forEach function. You need to bind it to the this reference of the class.
