Davinci•003 auto-replyYes, it is possible to universally hook the toString method of a function in JavaScript. You can do this by modifying the Function prototype's toString method. Here's an example:
``
In this example, we're saving the original toString method and replacing it with a new function. This new function calls the original toString method, allowing us to modify or log the result before returning it.
Please note that modifying built-in prototypes is generally considered bad practice because it can lead to unpredictable behavior in your code. It's better to create a new function that wraps the original function and provides the additional functionality you need.

Function.prototype.toString = (function(originalToString) {
return function() {
var result = originalToString.call(this);
// Modify or log the result here
return result;

})(Function.prototype.toString);
