physics collider not working. [phaser]

[AmbitiousIndie]

// hello again lads! I've got another problem. I was working on a game and I was specifically  

// working on a Gameplay scene and there was no specific error in the console but the physics  

// collider between my platform and the player wasn't working and my player fell through the 

// platform. Can somebody point out the mistake I've made? Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

// The code from my 'Gameplay' scene:


var platform;
var player;

class gamePlay extends Phaser.Scene{
	constructor(){
		super({key: 'playing'});
	}

	preload(){

		this.load.image('sky', 'assets/sky.png');
		this.load.image('sun', 'assets/sun.png');
		this.load.image('ground', 'assets/platform.png');
		this.load.image('cubey', 
			'assets/cubey(1).png',
			{frameWidth: 32, frameHeight: 32}
		);
		
	}


	create(){
	
		this.add.image(400, 300, 'sky');
		this.add.image(400, 100, 'sun');

		platform = this.physics.add.staticGroup();

		platform.create(400, 500, 'ground');
		platform.create(250, 500, 'ground');
		platform.create(500, 500, 'ground');

		player = this.physics.add.sprite(400, 300, 'cubey');

		player.setBounce(0.3);
		player.setCollideWorldBounds(true);
		this.physics.add.collider(player, platform); // not working

	}



	update(){



	}	
}

Instead of defining `player` from a `var` keyword, try defining it in the class you called using:

class example extends Phaser.Scene {

  constructor() {

    super('example');

  }

  create() {

    this.player = this.physics.add.sprite(x, y, "key");

    this.physics.add.collider(this.player, this.collidingThing);

  }
