Make a function mimic another one
Useful when you wrap a function in another function and like to preserve the original name and other properties.
$ npm install mimic-fn
import mimicFunction from 'mimic-fn';
function foo() {}
foo.unicorn = '๐ฆ';
function wrapper() {
return foo();
}
console.log(wrapper.name);
//=> 'wrapper'
mimicFunction(wrapper, foo);
console.log(wrapper.name);
//=> 'foo'
console.log(wrapper.unicorn);
//=> '๐ฆ'
console.log(String(wrapper));
//=> '/* Wrapped with wrapper() */\nfunction foo() {}'
