Object Methods & this

Methods

A function stored as a property is a method — call it with object.method().

const dog = {
  name: "Rex",
  bark() {
    return `${this.name} says Woof!`;
  },
};
console.log(dog.bark());  // Rex says Woof!

What this refers to

Inside a regular method, this refers to the object the method was called on — not where it was defined.

Losing this

Passing dog.bark as a standalone callback loses its this binding — use .bind() or an arrow wrapper to fix it.
