call-bound securely binds a function to a specific receiver (typically this), preventing it from being accidentally or maliciously invoked with an incorrect context. This safeguards against common JavaScript errors and potential security vulnerabilities arising from incorrect this binding. It ensures that the function always operates within the intended object's scope, enhancing code reliability and predictability, and mitigating risks like prototype pollution when functions are accidentally called on unexpected objects.
Call-bound's release frequency is inconsistent. It had 3 releases in December 2024 (1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3), and one release in March 2025 (1.0.4). There were no releases in January, February, April, May, June, or July of 2025. Data until today August 29, 2025 shows no further releases.
