so:
var test = () => { console.log(this); }
becomes:
var _this = this;
var test = function () {
console.log(_this);
}
This is both the same on the client and server. Identical.
The reason why your client example worked is, that the added
var _this = this: call at the top of the transpiled code assigned the window object, which obviously already has jQuery, so the selector worked, but is very dodgy. (I think you alluded to this in your talk?)
$(‘button’) could have been any button, but I only had one on the page so it was ok
thanks for taking the time
;)
As for how to use arrow functions and retain the "this" being the meteor defined "this", I can't answer that one.. Not sure you can
Heh, no worries, glad to help out ;)
v interesting!
now there’s a thing
Hi everyone, I would like to ask for your help. Do you know the name of some companies working with Meteor? I am a Full Stack Engineer and I want to move to London. Could you also help me figure out the minimum wage I should accept? I did some numbers and it feels like I should ask for > 55k to live comfortably in central London.
Thank you everyone.
How doo @carlosbaraza, something like http://www.totaljobs.com/salary-checker/average-web-developer-salary-london
We (https://tableflip.io/) work in meteor but we’ve not got any jobs at the moment. There are several companies who are building out their apps on Meteor that come to the meetup
We've got two positions open so just get in touch if you (and/or a friend) are interested.
@ashburnham , thank you for the suggestion. It looks like an interesting application. I will apply as soon as I find some time :)
Hiya. Together with a colleague/partner, I'm building a city-discovery app with a twist, in Meteor. Nick from Meteor in San Fransisco suggested to me to post here to perhaps get a presentation going at Devshop London. (One of us is in London, the other in Sao Paulo.) So... when's the next event? :)
next one is the 28th
It’d be great to hear about your project
I think the line up for the Jan event is currently full, but there will be another meetup towards the end of Feb
would be a full one this time
@borellvi very much so
your lightening talk was really good
would be a nice follow up to last month's React talk too
the hype in facebook stack is quite high now
