Robustly .call.bind() a function.
npm install --save call-bind
const assert = require('assert');
const callBind = require('call-bind');
const callBound = require('call-bind/callBound');
function f(a, b) {
assert.equal(this, 1);
assert.equal(a, 2);
assert.equal(b, 3);
assert.equal(arguments.length, 2);
}
const fBound = callBind(f);
const slice = callBound('Array.prototype.slice');
delete Function.prototype.call;
delete Function.prototype.bind;
fBound(1, 2, 3);
assert.deepEqual(slice([1, 2, 3, 4], 1, -1), [2, 3]);
Clone the repo, npm install, and run npm test
Implements the Function.prototype.bind method in an ECMAScript 5-compliant way. It is similar to call-bind in that it allows you to fix the this value for function calls, but it does so by returning a new function with the this value bound, rather than using the call or apply methods directly.
