Simulate the 'new' operator in JavaScript

Question

I tried to simulate the \'new\' operator in JavaScript in a code like this:

Function.method(\'new\', function ( ) {
    var objPrototype = Object.create(this         


        

Answer 1

Here is an alternative to using the __proto__ approach. Its in line with how the OP initially started out...

function New(fn) {
    var newObj = Object.create(fn.prototype);
    return function() {
        fn.apply(newObj, arguments);
        return newObj;
    };
}

This is a much cleaner way of doing it, and it passes prototype chain tests too.
