概述
Function
构造器创建一个新的Function
对象. 在JavaScript中每个函数(function)实际是一个Function对象
.
构造器
new Function ([arg1[, arg2[, ...argN]],] functionBody)
参数
-
参数1, 参数2, ... 参数N
- 被函数使用的参数的名称必须是合法命名的。参数名称是一个有效的JavaScript标识符的字符串,或者一个用逗号分隔的有效字符串的列表;例如“×”,“theValue”,或“A,B”。
- 函数体
- 一个含有包括函数定义的JavaScript语句的字符串。
描述
使用Function构造器生成的
Function对象是在函数创建时被解析的。这比你使用函数声明(function)并在你的代码中调用低效,因为使用函数语句声明的function是跟其他语句一起解析的
。
所有被传递到构造函数中的参数,都将被视为将被创建的函数的参数,并且是相同的标示符名称和传递顺序。
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.
Properties and Methods of Function
The global Function
object has no methods or properties of its own, however, since it is a function itself it does inherit some methods and properties through the prototype chain from Function.prototype
.
Function
prototype object
Properties
-
Function.arguments
-
An array corresponding to the arguments passed to a function. This is deprecated as property of
Function
, use thearguments
object available within the function instead. -
Function.arity
-
Used to specifiy the number of arguments expected by the function, but has been removed. Use thelength
property instead. -
Function.caller
- Specifies the function that invoked the currently executing function.
-
Function.length
- Specifies the number of arguments expected by the function.
-
Function.name
- The name of the function.
-
Function.displayName
- The display name of the function.
- Function.prototype.constructor
-
Specifies the function that creates an object's prototype. See
Object.constructor
for more details.
Methods
-
Function.prototype.apply()
- Applies the method of another object in the context of a different object (the calling object); arguments can be passed as an Array object.
-
Function.prototype.bind()
- Creates a new function which, when called, itself calls this function in the context of the provided value, with a given sequence of arguments preceding any provided when the new function was called.
-
Function.prototype.call()
- Calls (executes) a method of another object in the context of a different object (the calling object); arguments can be passed as they are.
-
Function.prototype.isGenerator()
-
Returns
true
if the function is a generator; otherwise returnsfalse
. -
Function.prototype.toSource()
-
Returns a string representing the source code of the function. Overrides the
Object.toSource
method. -
Function.prototype.toString()
-
Returns a string representing the source code of the function. Overrides the
Object.toString
method.
Function
instances
Function
instances inherit methods and properties from Function.prototype
. As with all constructors, you can change the constructor's prototype object to make changes to all Function
instances.
Examples
Example: Specifying arguments with the Function
constructor
The following code creates a Function
object that takes two arguments.
// Example can be run directly in your JavaScript console // Create a function that takes two arguments and returns the sum of those arguments var adder = new Function("a", "b", "return a + b"); // Call the function adder(2, 6); // > 8
The arguments "a
" and "b
" are formal argument names that are used in the function body, "return a + b
".
Example: A recursive shortcut to massively modify the DOM
Creating functions with the Function
constructor is one of the ways to dynamically create an indeterminate number of new objects with some executable code into the global scope from a function. The following example (a recursive shortcut to massively modify the DOM) is impossible without the invocation of the Function
constructor for each new query if you want to avoid closures.
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>MDN Example - a recursive shortcut to massively modify the DOM</title> <script type="text/javascript"> var domQuery = (function() { var aDOMFunc = [ Element.prototype.removeAttribute, Element.prototype.setAttribute, CSSStyleDeclaration.prototype.removeProperty, CSSStyleDeclaration.prototype.setProperty ]; function setSomething (bStyle, sProp, sVal) { var bSet = Boolean(sVal), fAction = aDOMFunc[bSet | bStyle << 1], aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1, bSet ? 3 : 2), aNodeList = bStyle ? this.cssNodes : this.nodes; if (bSet && bStyle) { aArgs.push(""); } for ( var nItem = 0, nLen = this.nodes.length; nItem < nLen; fAction.apply(aNodeList[nItem++], aArgs) ); this.follow = setSomething.caller; return this; } function setStyles (sProp, sVal) { return setSomething.call(this, true, sProp, sVal); } function setAttribs (sProp, sVal) { return setSomething.call(this, false, sProp, sVal); } function getSelectors () { return this.selectors; }; function getNodes () { return this.nodes; }; return (function (sSelectors) { var oQuery = new Function("return arguments.callee.follow.apply(arguments.callee, arguments);"); oQuery.selectors = sSelectors; oQuery.nodes = document.querySelectorAll(sSelectors); oQuery.cssNodes = Array.prototype.map.call(oQuery.nodes, function (oInlineCSS) { return oInlineCSS.style; }); oQuery.attributes = setAttribs; oQuery.inlineStyle = setStyles; oQuery.follow = getNodes; oQuery.toString = getSelectors; oQuery.valueOf = getNodes; return oQuery; }); })(); </script> </head> <body> <div class="testClass">Lorem ipsum</div> <p>Some text</p> <div class="testClass">dolor sit amet</div> <script type="text/javascript"> domQuery(".testClass").attributes("lang", "en")("title", "Risus abundat in ore stultorum") .inlineStyle("background-color", "black")("color", "white")("width", "100px")("height", "50px"); </script> </body> </html>
