toString() 方法返回一个表示当前函数源代码的字符串。

语法

function.toString()

返回值

表示函数源代码的一个字符串

描述

Function对象覆盖了从Object继承来的toString 方法。对于用户定义的 Function 对象,toString方法返回一个字符串,其中包含用于定义函数的源文本段。

Function需要转换为字符串时,通常会自动调用函数的 toString 方法。

this 不是 Function 对象,则 toString() 方法将抛出 TypeError  ("Function.prototype.toString called on incompatible object") 异常,比如 Proxy 对象就会抛出异常。

Function.prototype.toString.call('foo'); // TypeError

如果是在内置函数或由 Function.prototype.bind 返回的函数上调用 toString(),则toString() 返回原生代码字符串,如下

"function () {\n    [native code]\n}"

若是在由 Function 构造器生成的函数上调用 toString() ,则 toString() 返回创建后的函数源码,包括形参和函数体,函数名为 "anonymous"。

示例

Function Function.prototype.toString result
function f(){}
"function f(){}"
class A { a(){} }
"class A { a(){} }"
function* g(){}
"function* g(){}"
a => a
"a => a"
({ a(){} }.a)
"a(){}"
({ *a(){} }.a)
"*a(){}"
({ [0](){} }[0])
"[0](){}"
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor({
    get a(){}
}, "a").get
"get a(){}"
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor({
    set a(x){}
}, "a").set
"set a(x){}"
Function.prototype.toString
"function toString() { [native code] }"
(function f(){}.bind(0))
"function () { [native code] }"
Function("a", "b")
"function anonymous(a\n) {\nb\n}"
