How can I pass a reference to a function, with parameters? [duplicate]

by

What you are after is called partial function application.

Don’t be fooled by those that don’t understand the subtle difference between that and currying, they are different.

Partial function application can be used to implement, but is not currying. Here is a quote from a blog post on the difference:

Where partial application takes a function and from it builds a function which takes fewer arguments, currying builds functions which take multiple arguments by composition of functions which each take a single argument.

This has already been answered, see this question for your answer: How can I pre-set arguments in JavaScript function call?

Example:

var fr = partial(f, 1, 2, 3);

// now, when you invoke fr() it will invoke f(1,2,3)
fr();

Again, see that question for the details.
