# Disallow Function Constructor (no-new-func)

It's possible to create functions in JavaScript using the `Function` constructor, such as:
It's possible to create functions in JavaScript from strings at runtime using the `Function` constructor, such as:

```js
var x = new Function("a", "b", "return a + b");
var x = Function("a", "b", "return a + b");
var x = Function.call(null, "a", "b", "return a + b");
var x = Function.apply(null, ["a", "b", "return a + b"]);
var x = Function.bind(null, "a", "b", "return a + b")();
```

This is considered by many to be a bad practice due to the difficulty in debugging and reading these types of functions.
This is considered by many to be a bad practice due to the difficulty in debugging and reading these types of functions. In addition, Content-Security-Policy (CSP) directives may disallow the use of eval() and similar methods for creating code from strings.
