Why is ‘this’ undefined inside class method when using promises? [duplicate]

by

this is always the object the method is called on. However, when passing the method to then(), you are not calling it! The method will be stored somewhere and called from there later. If you want to preserve this, you will have to do it like this:

.then(() => this.method2())

or if you have to do it the pre-ES6 way, you need to preserve this before:

var that = this;
// ...
.then(function() { that.method2() })
