The Facts
Function('return this')() always returns the global (window) object. Function.bind({})('return this')() returns the global object too.
My Goals
I want to create a variation of Function. The anonymous functions returned by calling that variation of Function should always use myObj as this.
If JavaScript wouldn't behave in that special way (see The Facts), I would do the following:
var myFun = Function.bind(myObj);
myFun is the object that I want to own. Now I would be able to do the following:
console.assert(myObj === myFun('return this')());
My Questions
- Why is
Functionreturningglobal, even after.bind()ing it to another object? - Is there a workaround? How can I bind
Functionto another object?
Thanks.
