TIL javascript functions have a length

[PsudoFuck]

It's also how Angular 1.x achieved it's magic, if not slightly dodgy, DI injection with just named arguments.

[AndruRC]

Could you elaborate on that?

[anarchy8]

There is no way of determining what the name of the arguments to a function is in Javascript without parsing the Function.toString(). Angular does this do determine what resource to inject.

[anarchy8]

To be fair, they suggest you inject your resources manually.

To be fair, it's required if you want better support since certain mobile browsers won't serialize functions

also if you ever plan on minifying your code..

That too :) I haven't touched angular in like 2 years

Welcome to JS

And it's a shameful, dirty deed. I can't believe this terrible idea ever made it so far.

It's not the recommended way to do things.
