Question

I am trying to assign an function within an function object property without actually invoking then function itself.

for instance,

I have the following function object class definition

function objectOne(name, value, id){
    this.name=name;
    this.value=value;
    this.id=id;
    this.methodOne=methodFunction(this);
}

the last line this.methodOne=methodFunction(this); I want to pass the current object to the function but at the same time i don’t want to execute the function right now.

But if I do it this way without the bracket this.methodOne=methodFunction then the argument of this object would not be passed as a parameter to the function.

Is there a way to work through this.

Thank you in advance

This page helped explain this concept to me the best. Essentially would be doing something like the following.

function objectOne(name, value, id) {
  function methodFunction(value) {
     // do something
  }

  var that = this;

  this.methodOne = function() {
     methodFunction(that);
  };
}

var x = new objectOne("one", 2, 3);
x.methodOne();
