What is the use of the JavaScript 'bind' method?

Question

What is the use of bind() in JavaScript?

Answer 1

bind is a function which is available in java script prototype, as the name suggest bind is used to bind your function call to the context whichever you are dealing with for eg:

    var rateOfInterest='4%';
    var axisBank=
    {
    rateOfInterest:'10%',
    getRateOfInterest:function()
    {
    return this.rateOfInterest;
    }
    }
    axisBank.getRateOfInterest() //'10%' 


    let knowAxisBankInterest=axisBank.getRateOfInterest // when you want to assign the function call to a varaible we use this syntax
    knowAxisBankInterest(); // you will get output as '4%' here by default the function is called wrt global context

let knowExactAxisBankInterest=knowAxisBankInterest.bind(axisBank);     //so here we need bind function call  to its local context


    knowExactAxisBankInterest() // '10%'
