The this keyword indicates that you are referring to an instance variable in “this” object. E.g., your variable date is an instance variable of “this” object.

When I teach this concept to students, I tell them that the dot operator means “look inside”. So, this.date tells the compiler to get “this” object, the dot tells the compiler to look inside this object, and date is found inside the object, and that is what is getting set.

If this is a new concept to you, you may want to study some more object-oriented languages. In C++ this is used. In python it is self. E.g.

  id: number;
  name: string;
}

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root',
})
export class UserService {

  constructor() { }

  getUsers(): Promise<User[]> {
    return Promise.resolve([
      { id: 1, name: 'Maria' },
      { id: 2, name: 'Alex' },
      { id: 3, name: 'Chuntao' },
      { id: 4, name: 'BĂ©atrice' },

You really need to spend some time with some textbooks or online stuff reading about object-oriented programming, objects in javascript, etc.
