I need to call a parent property from child object in an object literal

Question

I tried to call from child object a parent attribute

var parentObj = {  
   attr1:1,  
   attr2:2,   
   childObj:{  
      method1:function(){  
         r         


        

Answer 1

This is an another approach without referencing the parent object's name.

var parentObj = {
    attr1: 1,
    attr2: 2,
    get childObj() {
        var self = this;
        return {
            method1: function () {
                return self.attr1 * self.attr2;
            }
        }
    }
}

Can be accessed as:

parentObj.childObj.method1(); // returns 2
