Use of .apply() with 'new' operator. Is this possible?

Question

In JavaScript, I want to create an object instance (via the new operator), but pass an arbitrary number of arguments to the constructor. Is this possible?

Answer 1

@Matthew I think it's better to fix the constructor property also.

// Invoke new operator with arbitrary arguments
// Holy Grail pattern
function invoke(constructor, args) {
    var f;
    function F() {
        // constructor returns **this**
        return constructor.apply(this, args);
    }
    F.prototype = constructor.prototype;
    f = new F();
    f.constructor = constructor;
    return f;
}
