'this' reference in angular asynchronous calls vs react and node asynchronous calls

Question

Why does this in angular's this.http.subscribe body references the current component while this in react or node's nested asynchronous callbacks references the http request itself? What can i do to achieve the angular pattern?

Answer 1

To achieve the angular pattern you can add a that = this; before the subscribe (in the method body). Then reference it in the subscribe.
