Class Variables

[flint hollow]

let message;
class Test {
  //message = "Hi";
  constructor() {
    someFunction.load(model, async function() {
      message = "Hello world 2"
    })
    this.msg = message
  }
}
const random = new Test();
console.log(random.msg) //undefined

The variable's value is obtained from inside the someFunction, and placing this.msg = message statement outside the constructor does not work either. I need to access the message property after its value is declared inside the someFunction and I dont seem to be able to find any resources.
Kindly help.

constructor methods cant be async so u can create an async method on the class, put the code in it and then after constructing call the method await new Test().theMethod()

[flint hollow]

The thing is that the Test class has 4 parametres which the code inside the async function needs as well

Ill give it a try

[flint hollow]

let message;
class Test {
  async set() {
    message = "Hello World";
    console.log("Message " + message); //Works properly
  }
  constructor() {
    this.msg = message;
  }
}
const random = new Test();
async function run() {
  await random.set();
  console.log(random.msg); //Undefined
}
run()
console.log(random.msg); //undefined

What am I doing wrong?

what is the actual use case? seems like an odd thing to need, maybe it's an xy problem

[flint hollow]

I'm working on a 3D Model using ThreeJS, actually

I was dividing the code into multiple files, and this "Test" class is the Loader class
Which loads the 3D model
The async function is the actual load function

For animated Models
There is a class called AnimationMixer
Which is defined only when the load function is called
And I need to access it outside to stop animations on will

[cedar drift]

u assign this.msg to message's value before it gets changed so its undefined because the initially u defined message without a value

[flint hollow]

Then what is the solution?

[cedar drift]

this.msg = message; this doesnt create a reference to the message variable, it just assigns its value to this.msg

[flint hollow]

Ohhh

[cedar drift]

edit this.msg or log message

[flint hollow]

Alright

I shifted the code back to my original file, actually
Ill definitely try it, though
Thanks for the help!

also consider that constructors aren't supossed to have side effects, you shouldn't run actual logic other than the one related to property initialization

it's better for you to do new Test().load() instead of calling load on the constructor
