I am very new to Javascript and I just stuck with something that works in python. The problem is that I have class where I initiate some empty lists as this.data_y_json and etc. If I make normal function inside class like normal_function(){this.data_y_json = 5} it works and the variable is changed. However, i work with d3, and there is some trick which I cant get through:
// inside class
// in constructor all this.xxx defined
// after object initiation I call set_data()
set_data(){
d3.json("link2.json",function(data) {
for (var i=0;i<data.d.results.length;i++){
this.data_y_json.push(parseFloat(data.d.results[i].PE))
...
//end of function
// end of class
After calling function set_data() an error is raised: SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'data_y_json' of undefined or null reference
I am rewriting my visualization into OOP, before this, I had it solved with global variables and it worked fined. In python I would just passed 'self' as an argument to function, but here in javascript, passing THIS doesnt work and raises another error.
Simply said, I know the problem -> this.data_y_json is not recognized propably because of function(data) doesnt pass self of the object, but I dont know how to do it.
Thank in advance for advice
