I want to do what setTimout does, manually, with no timeout.
setTimeout(function,0,args);
Just call a function and pass it an array of arguments, without knowing or caring how many arguments were there.
Basically I want to proxy the function call through another function.
I'm bad with terminology, sorry.
function f(a, b, c) { return a + b + c; }
alert(f.apply(f, ['hello', ' ', 'world']));
In ES6:
function myFunc(a, b, c){
console.log(a, b, c);
}
var args = [1, 2, 3];
myFunc(...args);
Sounds like you want a function with variable arguments as an argument. The best way to do this is either an explicit Array or object in general.
myFunction(callbackFunction, count, arrayOfOptions);
myFunction(callbackFunction, count, objectOfOptions);
Take a look at javascript's arguments variable. This is an array of all arguments passed in to the function.
So you can create your core function like this:
f = function () {
for (arg in arguments) {
// do stuff
}
}
Then, create a new function with the right arguments:
f2 = function () {
return f(arg1, arg2, arg3 /* etc. */);
}
And pass this function to setTimeout:
setTimeout(f2, 0);
