I have an request to get some data and add it to a variable,
When I use:
.then(function(response) {
this.persons = response.data;
});
It does not assign response.data to this.persons but when I do the following:
.then(response => this.persons = response.data);
It assigns it fine to use. Please see the js fiddle:
As I have explained it here, arrow syntax does not bind it's own this, arguments, super, or new.target. Arrow functions are always anonymous. These function expressions are best suited for non-method functions.
Scope of this changes inside a function() block and it does not refer to the currently executing function, while with arrow function, this refers to the currently executing function only.
