handler.apply()

The following parameters are passed to the apply() method. this is bound to the handler.

target

The target callable object.

thisArg

The this argument for the call.

argumentsList

An Array containing the arguments passed to the function.

The apply() method can return any value, representing the return value of the function call.

This trap can intercept these operations:

• Function call: proxy(...args)
• Function.prototype.apply() and Function.prototype.call()
• Reflect.apply()

Or any other operation that invokes the [[Call]] internal method.

The proxy's [[Call]] internal method throws a TypeError if the handler definition violates one of the following invariants:

• The target must be a callable itself. That is, it must be a function object.

The following code traps a function call.

const p = new Proxy(function () {}, {
  apply(target, thisArg, argumentsList) {
    console.log(`called: ${argumentsList}`);
    return argumentsList[0] + argumentsList[1] + argumentsList[2];
  },
});

console.log(p(1, 2, 3)); // "called: 1,2,3"
// 6

• Proxy
• Proxy() constructor
• Function.prototype.apply()
• Function.prototype.call()
• Reflect.apply()
