Does Haxe support function.apply()?

Question

I have a question about Haxe, does Haxe support method.apply(this, paramArray) that is similar to Javascript? Thanks.

Answer 1

Is the method Reflect.callMethod or you need something else?

Answer 2

You can use following code to ease conversion. However, you can't use thisArg like in AS3 because callMethod ignores first argument (o:Dynamic): pay attention to second trace call.

using Main.StaticExtender;

class Main {
    public var value:Int;
    function new() {}
    function foo(x:Int): Int {
        return value = x;
    }
    static public function main() {
    var m = new Main();
    var m2 = new Main();
    trace(m.foo.apply(m,[273998236]));
    trace(m2.foo.apply(m2,[273998237]));
    trace(m.value);
    trace(m2.value);
  }
}

class StaticExtender {
    static public function apply(f:Dynamic,o:Dynamic,a:Array<Dynamic>):Dynamic {
        return Reflect.callMethod(o,f,a);
    }
}
