How can I pre-set arguments in JavaScript function call? (Partial Function Application)

Question

I am trying to write a JavaScript function that will return its first argument(function) with all the rest of its arguments as preset parameters to that function.

So

Answer 1

Using Javascript's apply(), you can modify the function prototype

Function.prototype.pass = function() {
    var args = arguments,
        func = this;
    return function() {
        func.apply(this, args);
    }
};

You can then call it as out.pass('hello','world')

apply takes an array for 2nd argument/parameter.

arguments is property available inside function which contains all parameters in array like structure.

One other common way to do this is to use bind

loadedFunc = func.bind(this, v1, v2, v3);

then

loadedFunc() === this.func(v1,v2,v3);

this kinda suffice, even though little ugly.
