reflection - Is it possible to reflect the arguments of a Javascript function?

Question

Is it possible to get all of the arguments a Javascript function is written to accept? (I know that all Javascript function arguments are "optional")? If not, is it possible to get the number of arguments? For example, in PHP, one could use:

$class = new ReflectionClass('classNameHere');
$methods = $class->getMethods();
foreach ($methods as $method) {
    print_r($method->getParameters());
}

... or something like that, I haven't touched PHP in a while so the example above may not be correct.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Unfortunately, I have to be able to get the arguments outside of the body of the function... Sorry for the lack of clarification, but thanks for the current answers!

This new version handles fat arrow functions as well...

args = f => f.toString ().replace (/[
s]+/g, ' ').
              match (/(?:functions*w*)?s*(?:((.*?))|([^s]+))/).
              slice (1,3).
              join ('').
              split (/s*,s*/);

function ftest (a,
                 b,
                 c) { }

let aftest = (a,
                 b,
                 c) => a + b / c;

console.log ( args (ftest),  // = ["a", "b", "c"] 
              args (aftest), // = ["a", "b", "c"]
              args (args)    // = ["f"]
             );

Here is what I think you are looking for :

 function ftest (a,
                 b,
                 c) { }
 var args = ftest.toString ().
              replace (/[
s]+/g, ' ').
              match (/functions*w*s*((.*?))/)[1].split (/s*,s*/);

args will be an array of the names of the arguments of test i.e. ['a', 'b', 'c']

The value is args will be an array of the parameter names if the ftest is a function. The array will be empty if ftest has not parameters. The value of args will be null if ftest fails the regular expression match, i.e it is not a function.
