javascript - Calling a method from inside a view without using "this" keyword? -

my backbone code seems have crazy number of this.methodcall() type of invocations , i'd love able drop this, , call methodcall() directly inside view.

see below code:

app.main = backbone.view.extend({      el: '#main-div',      // how call function without invoking "this"?     setpagecookies: function () {         console.log('setting page cookies called!');     },      initialize: function () {         // saw online possible solution, seems affect scope of "this"          _.bindall(this, 'setpagecookies');          // works:         this.setpagecookies();         // however, i'd able call instead:        setpagecookies();      }  }); 

firstly - this.setpagecookies() , setpagecookies() have drastically different meanings.

the way achieve calling setpagecookies() without this make setpagecookies function declaration:

function setpagecookies() {  }  backbone.view.extend({    setpagecookies: setpagecookies,   initialize: function() {     setpagecookies()   } }); 

however, can't use this instead of setpagecookies - unless use bind, or unless write complicated wrapper around setpagecookies: setpagecookies takes this value , passes first argument.. or something. makes me ask - why want achieve this?
