ReferenceError: Foo is not definedReferenceError: Cannot access 'Foo' before initializationReferenceError in 240.8 are because:
ReferenceError may be obfuscated by another error. For example, if the invalid pattern is used inside an ES6 JavaScript module, the customer may also be presented with an import error. For example, if the instance were to be exported:
// Invalid: Create an instance of a class...
const foo = new Foo();
// ... that is defined after it is instantiated...
class Foo {
someMethod() {
/* customer code here */
}
}
// ... and the instance is exported using ES6 module syntax.
export default foo;
Elsewhere in the application, that instance might be depended on like so:
import foo from 'the-above-example'; // An error might appear here: foo.someMethod();
When someMethod is invoked, the customer would be presented with: foo.default.someMethod is not a function.
ReferenceError.new Foo after class Foo). A corrected version of the original example is:
// Define the class you want to use...
class Foo {
// customer code here
}
// ... and only then create an instance.
const foo = new Foo();000393510
