I am new to JavaScript, and I am struggling with how to change an arrow function with non-arrow function... Please help, and thank you very much in advance!
this.middleware(req,res,()=>{
this.processRoutes(req,res);
});
This is how you can do it.
this.middleware = function(req,res) {
this.processRoutes(req,res);
};
However you should use arrow function unless you have any specific reason for not to use it.

Why arrow function fails to identify this pointer in the following case. I know that regular functions have their own execution scope and this but I could not identify why following failed. In the arrow function case, this is undefined. If someone can shed light, it would be great. Thank you!
PS: This code is just for experimental purposes, not anything serious.
const addProperty = function(op, func) {
String.prototype.__defineGetter__(op, func);
};
// works
addProperty('upper', function() {
return this.toUpperCase();
});
// fails to identify this
addProperty('lower', () => {
return this.toLowerCase();
});
Arrow functions preserve the this of the outside scope. function keyword functions, in this context, get the this of the object they're put on. That's just what they do.

I'm new to Jquery, and I'm trying to figure out how to use the "this" keyword.
When I try to test it using a simple button with a console log, it keeps giving me the entire window object. Could someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I just want "this" to return the button.
`
$("button").on("click", (e) => {
console.log(this)
console.log($(this))
})
`
This is what I tried. and here is what it gives me in the console log:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is the Window object. At least, I'm sure this isn't my button.

I am confused in trying to understand the function event object.
How does function(event) differ from function = event => in a code like the one below?

I have this function call in jQuery:
image.save(comment);
and I've defined the save function like this:
Image.prototype.save = association => {
debugger;
this
}
How do I get this to equal the recipient of the function call which is image? Right now at the debugger, it equals the window object.
Do not use arrow functions
Arrow functions have a lexical this; its value is determined by the surrounding scope.
Image.prototype.save = function(association){
debugger;
this
}

I saw this question in a quiz, how is a fat arrowed question works? is there any difference in the following code, if if yes why, if no why?:
var abc = function() {
return {
log : function() {
console.log(this.val);
}
};
}
var def = function(){
return{
log : () => {
console.log(this.val);
}
};
}
A fat arrow function automatically binds to this. It help avoid code where you have to save this in some other variable like that... such as in deeply nested callback hell. It is also more terse.
