Correct syntax to reference a class function inside a class as a module

Mon 2018.10.08

Thank you @MaBe for the working example:

Q1: While this.start() does work when testing a module as a monolithic file:

constructor(option) {
        var timeStart = 0;
        var timeStop = 0;
        if( typeof option == "string" ) {
          if( option == "auto" )
            this.start();

an error occurs when testing as a deployed module:

>Uncaught Error: Function "start" not found!
 at line 5 col 18
            this.start();

What is the correct syntax to reference an internal class method from inside that class?

Q2: An error occurs when using a multi-parameter constructor when a default constructor is present

constructor() {

    // If option == "auto" auto start
      constructor(option) {

ERROR: [notify_error] Input_0:14: ERROR - Class contains duplicate method name "constructor" in moduleTestConstructor

Is the preferred method to use just the multi-parameter version and have implied optional arguments and code the single constructor for those options?

e.g.
if( typeof option == "undefined" ) {
if( option != "undefined" ) {
