Avoiding .call() and .apply() using .bind()

Question

I\'m looking for a way to accomplish a certain task and that is, going from

jQuery.when.apply( null, promiseArray ).done(...)

to

Answer 1

bind accepts a variable number of arguments, so you can partially apply a method. So, instead of:

var when = Function.prototype.apply.bind( $.when );

Do this:

var when = Function.prototype.apply.bind( $.when , null );

And updated jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pp26L/2/

Answer 2

This should work:

when = Function.prototype.apply.bind( $.when, null);

You just bind (or curry, if you prefer) the first argument of .bind and fix it to null.

Fiddle.
