@babel/plugin-proposal-function-bind
Detail
obj::func;
// is equivalent to:
func.bind(obj)::obj.func;
// is equivalent to:
obj.func.bind(obj);
obj::func(val);
// is equivalent to:
func
.call(obj, val)
::obj.func(val);
// is equivalent to:
obj.func.call(obj, val);
Example
Basic
const box = {
weight: 2,
getWeight() {
return this.weight;
},
};
const { getWeight } = box;
console.log(box.getWeight()); // prints '2'
const bigBox = { weight: 10 };
console.log(bigBox::getWeight()); // prints '10'
// Can be chained:
function add(val) {
return this + val;
}
console.log(bigBox::getWeight()::add(5)); // prints '15'
Using with document.querySelectorAll
It can be very handy when used with document.querySelectorAll:
const { map, filter } = Array.prototype;
let sslUrls = document
.querySelectorAll("a")
::map(node => node.href)
::filter(href => href.substring(0, 5) === "https");
console.log(sslUrls);
document.querySelectorAll returns a NodeList element which is not a plain array, so you normally can't use the map function on it, and have to use it this way: Array.prototype.map.call(document.querySelectorAll(...), node => { ... }). The above code using the :: will work because it is equivalent to:
const { map, filter } = Array.prototype;
let sslUrls = document.querySelectorAll("a");
sslUrls = map.call(sslUrls, node => node.href);
sslUrls = filter.call(sslUrls, href => href.substring(0, 5) === "https");
console.log(sslUrls);
Auto self binding
When nothing is specified before the :: operator, the function is bound to its object:
$(".some-link").on("click", ::view.reset);
// is equivalent to:
$(".some-link").on("click", view.reset.bind(view));
