object defineproperty typescript code example

Example 1: js defineProperty

var o = {}; // Creates a new object

// Example of an object property added
// with defineProperty with a data property descriptor
Object.defineProperty(o, 'a', {
  value: 37,
  writable: true,
  enumerable: true,
  configurable: true
});
// 'a' property exists in the o object and its value is 37

// Example of an object property added
// with defineProperty with an accessor property descriptor
var bValue = 38;
Object.defineProperty(o, 'b', {
  // Using shorthand method names (ES2015 feature).
  // This is equivalent to:
  // get: function() { return bValue; },
  // set: function(newValue) { bValue = newValue; },
  get() { return bValue; },
  set(newValue) { bValue = newValue; },
  enumerable: true,
  configurable: true
});
o.b; // 38
// 'b' property exists in the o object and its value is 38
// The value of o.b is now always identical to bValue,
// unless o.b is redefined

// You cannot try to mix both:
Object.defineProperty(o, 'conflict', {
  value: 0x9f91102,
  get() { return 0xdeadbeef; }
});
// throws a TypeError: value appears
// only in data descriptors,
// get appears only in accessor descriptors

Example 2: js defineProperty

// using __proto__
var obj = {};
var descriptor = Object.create(null); // no inherited properties
descriptor.value = 'static';

// not enumerable, not configurable, not writable as defaults
Object.defineProperty(obj, 'key', descriptor);

// being explicit
Object.defineProperty(obj, 'key', {
  enumerable: false,
  configurable: false,
  writable: false,
  value: 'static'
});

// recycling same object
function withValue(value) {
  var d = withValue.d || (
    withValue.d = {
      enumerable: false,
      writable: false,
      configurable: false,
      value: value
    }
  );

  // avoiding duplicate operation for assigning value
  if (d.value !== value) d.value = value;

  return d;
}
// ... and ...
Object.defineProperty(obj, 'key', withValue('static'));

// if freeze is available, prevents adding or
// removing the object prototype properties
// (value, get, set, enumerable, writable, configurable)
(Object.freeze || Object)(Object.prototype);
