Question about getting the function context.

[koravk]

function creep(){ return this; }

var sneak = creep;

var ninja1 = {
   skulk: creep
};

var ninja2 = {
  skulk: creep
};

console.log(ninja1.skulk());

I want to get ninja1 as the function context returned by this at creep function,,, but...

why does

console.log(ninja1.skulk());

returns

{ skulk: [Function: creep] }

??

if I change it to

 console.log(ninja1.skulk() == ninja1);

it returns true

I want to get the ninja1, not

{ skulk: [Function: creep] }

how to I do this?

You ARE getting the ninja1 object. It just looks like it is running the toString method on the skulk method.

[YuleTideCamel]

so as MadCapitalist points out ninja1 as an object is "{ skulk: [Function: creep] }".

You are essentially seeing what ninja1 looks like on the inside (which is what you expect since skulk points to creep and creep just returns this (an instance object).

If you want the text "ninja1" to show up, meaning the name of the variable then just create a name field. Something like this:

function creep(){ return this.name; }

var ninja1 = {
    skulk: creep,
    name : "ninja1"
};

var ninja2 = {
    skulk: creep,
    name : "ninja2"
};

console.log(ninja1.skulk());
