I have a JavaScript helper method which handles a message sent from a child iframe



handleMessage: function (event) 
console.log('handleMessage');
console.log(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(event.data)));
,


The helper method is set during OnInit:



onInit: function (cmp, event, helper) 
window.addEventListener("message", $A.getCallback(helper.handleMessage));
,


Once a message arrives in handleMessage I need a reference to cmp or component but I do not have it.



Question



  1. How can I access cmp or component from inside the handleMessage helper method?

          You can bind it to the function call. You'd want to make the following changes:



          // Helper function
          handleMessage: function (cmp, event)
          console.log('handleMessage');
          console.log(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(event.data)));
          ,

          // Main code
          onInit: function (cmp, event, helper)
          window.addEventListener("message", $A.getCallback(helper.handleMessage.bind(helper, cmp)));
          ,
