Question

Quick question: How do I get a pointer to a pre-declared function in javascript.

Say in my .js file I have

function a() {
    var bref = `a pointer/ref to b() here`
}

function b(param) {
    ...
}

I want bref to be simply a pointer to the function b and not just the result of a call to b()

Edit: Forgot to mention: function b takes in one parameter i.e b(param)

Have tried bref = b

Answer 1

You can simply:

function a() {
    var bref = b;
    ...
    x = bref("cake");
}

function b() {
    ...
}
