JavaSc...unction(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

JavaScript::QuickJS::Function — it's a JavaScript Function but make it Perl 💖

(also it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, section 3pm, iykyk)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

my $func = JavaScript::QuickJS->new()->eval("() => 123");

print $func->();    # prints “123”; note overloading :)

okay bestie look at that last line again. $func->() — we're calling a JavaScript function with Perl syntax. that's the overloading. slay 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this class is the Perl-side glow-up of a JavaScript Function instance.

the MDN link for the real thing is: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function — go read it if you want the full lore, we're just the Perl wrapper 🫶

important, no cap: this class is not instantiated directly. you don't new it yourself, it just shows up in your life when QuickJS hands you a function. main character energy but from the backstage ✨

---

💖 OVERLOADING 💖

for convenience (and because we love you), instances of this class are callable as Perl code references. 🔥

that's literally equivalent to a call() with $this_sv (see below) set to undef. like, same thing, just with less typing.

there's an example up in the SYNOPSIS if you scrolled past it, go look 👀

---

👑 INVOCATION METHODS 👑

$ret = OBJ->call( $this_sv, @arguments )

does what JavaScript's method of the same name does. say it with me: like JavaScript's method of the same name. periodt. 💜

---

🎀 ACCESSOR METHODS 🎀

each one of these hands you back the matching JS property, no drama:

• length() — returns the corresponding JS property
• name() — returns the corresponding JS property

that's the whole list, bestie, we keep it tight 🌸

and that's the whole page!! this one's from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-19 — shoutout to whoever contributed it to the Perl docs, you ate 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
