class Function extends Object

The Function constructor creates a new Function object. In JavaScript every function is actually a Function object.

Function objects created with the Function constructor are parsed when the function is created. This is less efficient than declaring a function and calling it within your code, because functions declared with the function statement are parsed with the rest of the code.

All arguments passed to the function are treated as the names of the identifiers of the parameters in the function to be created, in the order in which they are passed.

Note: Functions created with the Function constructor do not create closures to their creation contexts; they always are created in the global scope. When running them, they will only be able to access their own local variables and global ones, not the ones from the scope in which the Function constructor was called. This is different from using eval with code for a function expression.

Invoking the Function constructor as a function (without using the new operator) has the same effect as invoking it as a constructor.

  7. def bind(thisArg: Any, argArray: Any*): Dynamic

    The bind() method creates a new function that, when called, has its this keyword set to the provided value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any provided when the new function is called.

  8. def call(thisArg: Any, argArray: Any*): Dynamic

    The call() method calls a function with a given this value and arguments provided individually.

    The call() method calls a function with a given this value and arguments provided individually.

    You can assign a different this object when calling an existing function. this refers to the current object, the calling object. With call, you can write a method once and then inherit it in another object, without having to rewrite the method for the new object.

    apply is very similar to call(), except for the type of arguments it supports. You can use an arguments array instead of a named set of parameters. With apply, you can use an array literal, for example,

    fun.apply(this, ['eat', 'bananas'])

    or an Array object, for example,

    fun.apply(this, new Array('eat', 'bananas')).

    MDN

    Scala.js-specific note: call() can be used instead of the apply() method available in JavaScript. Simply use the :_* notation to expand a Seq as variadic arguments, e.g.,

    someFun.call(thisArg, argSeq: _*)

    length is a property of a function object, and indicates how many arguments the function expects, i.e. the number of formal parameters. This number does not include the rest parameter. By contrast, arguments.length is local to a function and provides the number of arguments actually passed to the function.
