Static context in ES6 classes

gistfile1.md

Long story short, in javascript "this" refer to the thing-on-the-left-side-of-the-dot. period.

So, when writing ES6 classes & statics methods, use "this" to refer to the static classe.

class User {

  static find(criteria) {

      //nothing special
    var users_ids = sql.search(criteria).select('user_id');
      //still good here


    users_ids.map( id => return this.instanciate(id) ); //wait what ?
  }

  static instanciate(id){
    return new this(); //     this     is     javascript
  }
}


var joes = User.find("user_name LIKE 'joe%'");
