Is it possible to split arguments in to value in NodeJS?

Question

Is it possible to do something like this?

function one(){
    two(arguments)
}

function two(a, b){
    console.log(a);
    console.log(b);
}

one('a', 'b');

Answer 1

Yes, use apply()

function one(){
    two.apply(null, [].slice.call(arguments))
}

Some older engines insist upon receiving an array as the second parameter to apply(). Unfortunately, arguments is an array-like object. That's to say, it's not truly an array but it has a length property and numeric indices in addition to callee and caller properties. So, we call Array.slice() in order to get a plain array to pass to apply().

That said, V8 (used by node.js) should be fine without such translation:

function one(){
    two.apply(null, arguments)
}

That was my fault, I missed the node.js tag.
