Bind function for binding parameters in javascript

Tags:

I’ve written a bind function that binds the given parameters to the designated function as a practice.

<script type='text/javascript'>
// 'method' is taken from Douglas Crockford's Javascript: The Good Parts, Oreilly.
// This is a good to have shorthand for adding a method to Object.
Object.prototype.method = function(method_name, func) {
  Object.prototype[method_name] = func;
}

Object.method('bind', function() {
  // Here, 'this' is the context where 'bind' is called. So, it is 'add' in the examples below.
  var target_func = this;  
  // Parameters passed to bind. 
  // 'arguments' is not Array thought it's arraylike object, so we convert it to Array.
  var partial_args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
  // A function that will accept the remained parameters.
  return function(remained_params) {
    // Call target function with partial and the remained parameters combined.
    return target_func.apply(null, 
        partial_args.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
  }
});

var add = function(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}

var addToOne = add.bind(1);
document.write('addToOne: ' + addToOne(2) + '<br>');  // 3

var add3 = function(a, b, c) {
  return a + b + c;
}
var addToOne3 = add3.bind(3);
document.write('addToOne3: ' + addToOne3(4, 5) + '<br>');  // 12

var addToOneTwo3 = add3.bind(6, 7);
document.write('addToOneTwo3: ' + addToOneTwo3(8) + '<br>');  // 21
</script>
