Observe

Observe this function constructed with Function.apply.bind:

1
2
3
4
5
6
const f = Function.apply.bind(
    function(x,y){
        console.log( x, y );    
    },
    null
)

f will take an array of length two and log both elements:

1
2
f([1,2]) // 1, 2
f(1,2) // Uncaught TypeError: CreateListFromArrayLike called on non-object

What does bind do?

Function.prototype.bind will bind the first argument to the function it is called on as this, and the rest of the arguments will precede any provided when the new function is called.
So the original block is equivalent to calling Function.apply on the function function(x,y){console.log( x, y );}, and the first argument is null:

1
const f = (argsArray) => (function(x,y){console.log(x,y)}).apply(null, argsArray)

What does apply do?

The apply() method calls the specified function with a given this value, and arguments provided as an array (or an array-like object).

So the above statement can be further simplified to:

1
const f = (argsArray) => {console.log(argsArray[0], argsArray[1])}
