Is there a way to extend a method to the String prototype and manipulate the string value?
I'm facing some difficulty in accessing the actual string value, as this, the current object context, seems to refer to the string object instead.
String.prototype.test = function() { console.log(this)}
function () { console.log(this) }
'lol'.test()
VM192:2 String {0: "l", 1: "o", 2: "l", length: 3,
has: function, contains: function,
escapeRegExp: function, camelize: function…
}
How can I access the string value itself rather than just the string object?
