Classic and arrow functions in Javascript have a few differences. Arguably, the most impactful is their relationship to thethis property.

For a classic function, this refers to the function’s execution context or what can also be thought of as the object that is calling the function. In the example below, a classic function is called by the obj object. Therefore, its this is obj.

const obj= {
   name: "Eli",
   test: function () {
      console.log(this, this.name)
   }
}
obj.test() //  {name: "Eli", test: ƒ} "Eli"
