How to access var app (new Framework7) in app.methods.myMethod

Questions
1

When I call a method on init from within methods object:

on: {
	init: function() {
	    this.methods.myMethod();

in myMethod I can not access var app (for example to call another method or access the app.data object). When I console.log(this), it only contains app.methods object.
Is this intended?

In my experience even the following snippet from the documentation does not work, when I call the method on init, because app is not accessible. What I am missing and how is this supposed to work?

var app = new Framework7({
  methods: {
    alert: function() {
      app.dialog.alert('Hello World');
    }
  },
on: {
    init: function () {
      this.methods.alert();
    }
  }
});

Hi, do you use components?
you can listen to a page init event, and then run the method of that page. A little more of code will help to get the idea of what you are trying to do.

Looks like an issue, already pushed fix for this https://github.com/framework7io/framework7/commit/47e4077d0637a0d422215c69bd64c08f784e565b

So yeah, this inside of method should point to app instance

I wonder whats the idea here ? and whats the reason for using it

call a method in a component from another component ?

or call a method in a component from app.vue ?
