Dynamic instantiation in JavaScript

Question

Apart from eval, is there any other way to instantiate an object using variable argument list?

E.g.: var foo = instantiate(className, [arg1, arg2, ...])

Answer 1

Using Object.create() in ES5:

function instantiate(constructor, args) {
    var instance = Object.create(constructor.prototype);
    constructor.apply(instance, args);
    return instance;
}

Using the spread operator in ES6:

var foo = new constructor(...args);
