Bound function as a method

importance: 5

What will be the output?

function f() {
  alert( this ); // ?
}

let user = {
  g: f.bind(null)
};

user.g();

The answer: null.

function f() {
  alert( this ); // null
}

let user = {
  g: f.bind(null)
};

user.g();

The context of a bound function is hard-fixed. There’s just no way to further change it.

So even while we run user.g(), the original function is called with this=null.
