Lightning components: can helpers call other helpers
You can definitely call another function within the same object using the this keyword. Below Example doesnt make sense but it demonstrates the functionality of code
Lightning component :
<aura:component >
<input type="button" onclick="{!c.buttonClicked}" value="Click Me" id="myButton" />
</aura:component>
Controller :
({
buttonClicked : function(component, event, helper) {
helper.callHelper(component, event.target.id);
}
})
Helper:
({
callHelper : function(component, buttonId)
{
console.log('call1',buttonId);
this.helper1(component, buttonId,'Test');
},
helper1 : function(component, buttonId, newLabel)
{
console.log('call2',buttonId);
console.log('call3',newLabel);
}
})
