I have the following string
output_string = "[10, 10, [1,2,3,4,5], [10,20,30,40,50]]"
Then I JSON.parse
it
my_args = JSON.parse(output_string)
How do I unpack it in a Python-like way so that every element in my_args
becomes an argument to a JavaScript function?
some_javascript_function(*my_args)
// should be equivalent to:
some_javascript_function(my_args[0],my_args[1],my_args[2],my_args[3])
// or:
some_javascript_function(10, 10, [1,2,3,4,5], [10,20,30,40,50])
Is there a core JavaScript idiom that does that?
Once you 've collected the function arguments in an array, you can use the apply()
method of the function object to invoke your predefined function with it:
some_javascript_function.apply(this, my_args)
The first parameter (this
) sets the context of the invoked function.
