JavaScript Equivalent Of PHP __call

Question

In PHP you can detect when a method is called even when it doesn\'t exist using the \"magic\" __call function.

public function __call($methodNam         


        

Answer 1

No. Due to the way JavaScript works, the equivalent would be like Python's __getattr__/__getitem__, rather than PHP's __call, as it would need to be dealt with when retrieving the attribute rather than when calling it.

Then, you can look at a question like Python's __getattr__ in Javascript which answers it in that way.
