Using this in event handler in strict javascript?

Question

Suppose you have a routine like the following to wire up click event handlers

getElements(\".board>div\").forEach(function(elem){
  elem.addEventListener(\"cl         


        

Answer 1

Why don't you just bind the function with the object?

getElements(".board>div").forEach(function(elem){
  elem.addEventListener("click", handleClick.bind(elem));
});
