Let's say I have two ES6 classes like this:
class Base {
static something() {
console.log(this);
}
}
class Derived extends Base {
}
And then I make a call like this:
Derived.something();
Note that I am making a call to a static method defined on the super class via sub class.
This does not give me errors. It prints
[Function: Derived]
So accessing this
within a static method seems to work here.
I need a common static method for all sub-classes of a super class and I need to be able to know what sub-class is calling this method.
Now my question is whether using this
within a static method is legal. I know these static methods become class methods, and hence this
would naturally point to the class object they are called on. (The class object being the constructor.)
But I can't seem to find any definitive resource that states that this is allowed by the ES specification.
This looks like a good introduction to ES6 classes but does not talk about this
with static
.
