Object.defineProperty(mike, 'color', { value: "orange",
↵
writable: false, enumerable: true });
↵
// configurable will be false by default
<< {"attack": function (){
return this.name + " hits you with his " + this.weapon;
}, "color": "orange", "eat": function () {
return "Mmm, this " + this.food + " tastes great!";
}, "food": "Pizza", "name": "Michelangelo", "sayHi":
function () {
return "Hi dude, my name is " + this.name;
}, "weapon": "Nunchuks"}
As you can see, the object is returned with the the new property added.
Getters and Setters
Every object property descriptor can also have
get()
and
set()
methods, which can be
used to control how a property is set using assignment and which value is returned. For
example, if we create an empty object and then add a new property to it, we can include
get()
and
set()
methods like so:
example = {}; // initialize an empty object literal
Object.defineProperty(example, 'sillyString', {
get: function() {
return "Craaazy!";
},
set: function(value) {
return value;
}
});
To test this out, we can assign a string to the
sillyString
property:
example.sillyString = "Hello";
<< "Hello"
