Argument gets lost when using bind apply with array arguments

I used this answer here to construct a new class instance by passing array arguments using the following code:

new ( Cls.bind.apply( Cls, arguments ) )();

But one of my arguments is an array and the values get lost during construction

You can check an example that demonstrates this in this CodePen

In the example I pass the third argument properties:

var properties = [
    { name: "first", value: "1" },
    { name: "second", value: "2" },
    { name: "third", value: "3" }
];

But the properties in the result is undefined.

Apparently something goes wrong here, but what and why?

Your code is almost correct but you need to pass an additional argument to your factory() : factory(undefined, name, description, properties)

This is highlighted in the SO answer you link to in your question:

The anything parameter doesn't matter much, since the new keyword resets f's context. However, it is required for syntactical reasons. Now, for the bind call: We need to pass a variable number of arguments, so this does the trick: var f = Cls.bind.apply(Cls, [anything, arg1, arg2, ...]); result = new f();
