Question

I’m struggling a bit with JavaScript. I only get the folling code working if i call the init function inside another function. If i call this.init() or that.init() outside the timeout-function, it doesn’t work.

var App = function() {
    var that = this;       

    // Workaround
    var timeout = setTimeout(function(){            
        that.init();            
    },1);
};

var app = new App();

App.prototype.init = function() {    
    console.log('works');
};

Thanks you for your help.

Cheers.

You’re assigning the prototype after you instantiate App. Do it before.

var App = function() {
    this.init();
};

App.prototype.init = function() {    
    console.log('works');
};

var app = new App();
