The this Keyword

Referencing the object

Inside a method, this refers to the object:

let user = {
  name: "Alice",
  greet() {
    console.log("Hello, I'm " + this.name)
  }
}

user.greet()  // "Hello, I'm Alice"

this lets methods access other properties on the same object. Its value depends on how the function is called, which you'll explore more in later sections.
