In the past, you might directly set self=this or that=this, etc., which of course would work, but using Function.prototype.bind() would be better and look more professional.
Here’s a simple example:

Copy code The code is as follows:

var myObj = {
 specialFunction: function () {
 },
 anotherSpecialFunction: function () {
 },
 getAsyncData: function (cb) {
 cb();
 },
 render: function () {
 var that = this;
 this.getAsyncData(function () {
 that.specialFunction();
 that.anotherSpecialFunction();
 });
 }
};
myObj.render();

In this example, in order to maintain the myObj context, a variable that=this is set, which is feasible, but Function.prototype is not used .bind() looks neater:

Copy code The code is as follows:

render: function () {
 this.getAsyncData(function () {
 this.specialFunction();
 this.anotherSpecialFunction();
 }.bind(this));
}
 

When calling .bind(), it will simply create a new function and pass this to this function. The code to implement .bind() is roughly like this:

Copy the code The code is as follows:

Function.prototype .bind = function (scope) {
 var fn = this;
 return function () {
 return fn.apply(scope);
 };
}

Look at a simple example of using Function.prototype.bind():

Copy code The code is as follows:

var foo = {
 x: 3
};

var bar = function(){
 console.log(this.x);
};

bar(); // undefined

var boundFunc = bar.bind(foo);

boundFunc(); // 3

Isn’t it very useful! Unfortunately, IE browsers IE8 and below do not support Function.prototype.bind(). Supported browsers are Chrome 7, Firefox 4.0, IE 9, Opera 11.60, Safari 5.1.4. Although browsers such as IE 8/7/6 do not support it, the Mozilla development team has written a function with similar functions for older versions of IE browsers. The code is as follows:

Copy the code The code is as follows:

if (!Function.prototype.bind) {
Function.prototype.bind = function (oThis) {
    if (typeof this !== "function") {
      // closest thing possible to the ECMAScript 5 internal IsCallable function
      throw new TypeError("Function.prototype.bind - what is trying to be bound is not callable");
    }

    var aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1),
        fToBind = this,
        fNOP = function () {},
        fBound = function () {
          return fToBind.apply(this instanceof fNOP && oThis
                                 ? this
                                 : oThis,
                               aArgs.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
        };

    fNOP.prototype = this.prototype;
    fBound.prototype = new fNOP();

    return fBound;
};
}
