Prefer Reflect.apply() over Function#apply()

✅ This rule is part of the recommended config.

🔧 This rule is auto-fixable.

Reflect.apply() is arguably less verbose and easier to understand. In addition, when you accept arbitrary methods, it's not safe to assume .apply() exists or is not overridden.

Fail

function foo() {}

foo.apply(null, [42]);
Function.prototype.apply.call(foo, null, [42]);
foo.apply(this, [42]);
Function.prototype.apply.call(foo, this, [42]);
foo.apply(null, arguments);
Function.prototype.apply.call(foo, null, arguments);
foo.apply(this, arguments);
Function.prototype.apply.call(foo, this, arguments);

Pass

function foo() {}

Reflect.apply(foo, null, [42]);
