Stay Down Dev Log - Part 11 - Understanding "this" In Destructured Functions
In this magical code refactoring dev log, I run into an issue with destructuring functions out of the global object and have to figure out how to fix it. I also fix a position issue with the score counter.
This video will help you understand how the "this" keyword works inside of a function and goes over an issue you may encounter when destructuring functions out of objects. A few solutions I didn't talk about are binding "this" to the destructured function, and using closures to make a local copy of "this" in your function.
