In angular2 I have the following component:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
const dialog = require("electron").dialog;
const xml2js = require('xml2js');
const fs = require("fs");
const ipc = require('electron').ipcRenderer;
@Component({
selector: 'ct-config-editor',
templateUrl: 'config.editor.component.html'
})
export class ConfigEditorComponent {
constructor() {
this.selected_file = 'Max';
}
clicked(event){
alert("lol");
ipc.send('open-file-dialog');
ipc.on('selected-directory', function (event, path) {
this.selected_file = `You selected: ${path}`;
});
}
}
The view has a correctly bound property called selected_file like this :
<h1>{{selected_file}}</h1>
The value of the H1 is max at the start -- however after my callback runs, I don't have access to the this.selected_file because the context of the 'this' is not my class.
How do I access my instance variable within the callback?
