My following code gives the error message this is not a function (see code-snippet line 8). How do I correctly call it then?

((e) => {
  if(e.children == null || e.children.length == 0) return;
  e = e.children;
        
  $(e).each( (i, o) => {
    console.log(o);
    this(o);
  })

})(document.body);

you'll have to give the function a name – Daniel A. White Aug 22 '22 at 14:23
Which function are you expecting to be `this`? They're both _arrow_ functions, for one thing, which don't have their own `this`: https://stackoverflow.com/q/24900875/3001761. – jonrsharpe Aug 22 '22 at 14:26
Why do you have that odd mix of vanilla JS and jQuery? – Andy Aug 22 '22 at 14:29
