Refer to javascript function from within itself

Question

Consider this piece of code

var crazy = function() {
    console.log(this);
    console.log(this.isCrazy); // wrong.
}
crazy.isCrazy = \'totally\';
crazy();
         


        

Answer 1

You can use the call method

var crazy = function() {
    console.log(this);
    console.log(this.isCrazy);
}
crazy.isCrazy = 'totally';
crazy.call(crazy);
// calls crazy using crazy as the target, instead of window:
// functionToCall.call(objectToUseForThis);

Though if your function only ever has one name, you can do this:

var crazy = function() {
    console.log(crazy);
    console.log(crazy.isCrazy);
}
crazy.isCrazy = 'totally';
crazy();
