Using apply with Date constructor?

[ShaggyMoose]

I want to apply an array of arguments against the Date constructor to
set a specific date/time. I can't seem to find the syntax to do this.
Using eval to expand the array into seperate arguments for "new" feels
dirty. Is this possible?

eg. Date.apply(?, myArgs);

function dateConstruct(m yArgs) {
myArgs = "'"+myArgs.spli t(',').join('\' ,\'')+"'";
return new Date(myArgs);
}

does that could work ? no lo sè.

It is possible, like

Date.apply(null , myArgs);

but the outcome is not what you want. Date() when not called as a
constructor returns a string representing the current date and time,
no matter the arguments.

What you can do is something like the following:

Date.prototype. setDateTime = function(o)
{
for (var p in o)
{
var m = "set" + p.charAt(0).toU pperCase() + p.substr(1);
if (typeof this[m] == "function")
{
this[m](o[p]);
}
}
};

var firstContact = new Date();

firstContact.se tDateTime({
year: 2063, month: 4, date: 5, hours: 11, minutes: 0, seconds: 0,
milliseconds: 0
});
