What is Object.defineProperty() in Javascript?
Object.defineProperty()
is a method that allows you to define your own properties on an object. It takes three arguments: the object to modify, the name of the property, and a function to define the property's value.
Here's an example:
let myObj = {};
Object.defineProperty(myObj, "length", {
value: function() {
return this.length;
}
});
This code defines a new property, length
, on myObj
. The value of the property is a function that returns the length of the object. You can also use Object.defineProperty()
to change the value of an existing property:
Object.defineProperty(myObj, "length", {
value: 10
});
Now the length
property on myObj
has a value of 10. Object.defineProperty()
can also be used to delete properties:
Object.defineProperty(myObj, "length", {
delete: true
});
Now the length
property will be deleted from myObj
if it is ever set.
