[Solved]-How can I get the equivalent to a "this" keyword from d3 using d3.select()?-d3.js

the "equivalent" is:

console.log(d3.select("line").node())

given this simple snippet:

<svg width="100" height="100">
    <circle cx="40" cy="40" r="20" fill="teal"></circle>
</svg>

var circle = d3.select("circle");
console.log(circle.node());
console.log(circle);

console.log(circle.node()) gives you:

<circle cx="40" cy="40" r="20" fill="teal"></circle>

while console.log(circle) gives you:

zi {_groups: array[1], _parents: array[1]}

note: i put quotes in "equivalent" because this depends on many things. so, that's the equivalent for your specific question.
