A property descriptor
has the following optional properties:
boolean
indicating if property descriptor can be changed and if the property can be deleted from the provided object. Default: false
.boolean
indicating if the property shows up when enumerating object properties. Default: false
.boolean
indicating if the value associated with the property can be changed with an assignment operator. Default: false
.function
which serves as a getter for the property, or, if no getter, undefined
. When the property is accessed, a getter function is called without arguments and with the this
context set to the object through which the property is accessed (which may not be the object on which the property is defined due to inheritance). The return value will be used as the property value. Default: undefined
.function
which serves as a setter for the property, or, if no setter, undefined
. When assigning a property value, a setter function is called with one argument (the value being assigned to the property) and with the this
context set to the object through which the property is assigned. Default: undefined
.var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils-define-property' );
function Foo( name ) {
if ( !(this instanceof Foo) ) {
return new Foo( name );
}
defineProperty( this, 'name', {
'value': name,
'configurable': true
});
return this;
}
var foo = new Foo( 'beep' );
try {
delete foo.name;
console.log( '`name` property successfully deleted.' );
} catch ( err ) {
console.error( err.message );
