Accessing "this" in Clojurescript

clojurescript, google-closure, javascript

Solution

Use ClojureScript's `this-as` macro: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/commit/09ff093dc86b455e3090ce3612c5e01f3b5bada6.

Problem

Is there a way to access the "this" object in clojurescript? I am having issues with event propagation when I wrap an icon with an anchor and try to attach a handlder to the anchor. Without access to "this" in the handler I am constantly dealing with the inner icon firing the event sometimes and the anchor firing other times. edit: As was suggested below, this-as is the way to do this. An example could be ``` (defn my-handler [e] (this-as this (let [data-attr (.data ($ this) "my-attr")] (log data-attr)))) ```
