In javascript, how do I call a class method from another method in the same class?

Question

I have this:

var Test = new function() {  
    this.init = new function() {  
        alert("hello");  
    }
    this.run = new function() {  
        // call init here  
    }  
}

I want to call init within run. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Instead, try writing it this way:

function test() {
    var self = this;
    this.run = function() {
        console.log(self.message);
        console.log("Don't worry about init()... just do stuff");
    };

    // Initialize the object here
    (function(){
        self.message = "Yay, initialized!"
    }());
}

var t = new test();
// Already initialized object, ready for your use.
t.run()
