anybody knows who to bind a JS callback to "this" without "bind()"?
2013 is on V8 : works fine (see linked shot, too large to add)
2012 is on SquirrelFish : gets exception: "bind()" is not available as a function (see linked shot, too large to add)
the offending code is this:
var extJsCallBacks = [
function(){this._setupSystemInfo();}.bind(this),
function(){this._setupConfigInfo();}.bind(this),
function(){this._setupRepository();}.bind(this),
function(){this._setupContents();}.bind(this)
];
any hints?
Polyfill found on MDN
if (!Function.prototype.bind) {
Function.prototype.bind = function(oThis) {
if (typeof this !== 'function') {
// closest thing possible to the ECMAScript 5
// internal IsCallable function
throw new TypeError('Function.prototype.bind - what is trying to be bound is not callable');
}
var aArgs = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1),
fToBind = this,
fNOP = function() {},
fBound = function() {
return fToBind.apply(this instanceof fNOP
? this
: oThis,
aArgs.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments)));
};
if (this.prototype) {
// Function.prototype doesn't have a prototype property
fNOP.prototype = this.prototype;
}
fBound.prototype = new fNOP();
return fBound;
};
}
