length 属性指明函数的形参个数。

Function.length 属性的属性特性:
writable false
enumerable false
configurable true

描述

length 是函数对象的一个属性值,指该函数有多少个必须要传入的参数,即形参的个数。

形参的数量不包括剩余参数个数,仅包括第一个具有默认值之前的参数个数。

与之对比的是,  arguments.length 是函数被调用时实际传参的个数。

Function 构造器的属性

Function 构造器本身也是个Function。他的 length 属性值为 1 。该属性 Writable: false, Enumerable: false, Configurable: true.

Function.prototype 对象的属性

 Function.prototype  对象的 length 属性值为 0 。

示例

console.log(Function.length); /* 1 */

console.log((function()        {}).length); /* 0 */
console.log((function(a)       {}).length); /* 1 */
console.log((function(a, b)    {}).length); /* 2 etc. */

console.log((function(...args) {}).length); 
// 0, rest parameter is not counted

console.log((function(a, b = 1, c) {}).length);
// 1, only parameters before the first one with 
// a default value is counted
