define-properties
Advanced tools
Define multiple non-enumerable properties at once. Uses `Object.defineProperty` when available; falls back to standard assignment in older engines.
The define-properties npm package is used to define new properties on an object, including any necessary descriptors. It provides a simple API to define multiple properties at once while ensuring compatibility with older JavaScript engines that may not fully support ES5.
Defining multiple properties
This feature allows you to define multiple properties on an object with their descriptors. The 'enumerable' predicate ensures that the property will only be defined if the value is truthy.
{"object": {}, "properties": {"prop1": {"value": 42, "enumerable": true}, "prop2": {"value": 'hello', "enumerable": false}}, "predicates": {"enumerable": function(val) { return !!val; }}}
Defining properties with shared descriptors
This feature allows you to define properties with a shared descriptor. The predicate function can be used to conditionally define properties based on the key or value.
{"object": {}, "propertyNames": ["prop1", "prop2"], "descriptor": {"enumerable": true}, "predicate": function(key, value) { return key === 'prop1' || value > 10; }}
This package provides a similar functionality to define-properties by allowing you to define a new property directly on an object. It is a polyfill for Object.defineProperty and is useful for ensuring compatibility with older JavaScript engines.
es5-ext is a collection of ECMAScript 5 extensions, including various shims and polyfills. It offers a broader set of functionalities compared to define-properties, which includes defining properties but also other utilities for working with objects, arrays, and functions.

Existing properties are not overridden. Accepts a map of property names to a predicate that, when true, force-overrides.
var define = require('define-properties');
var assert = require('assert');
var obj = define({ a: 1, b: 2 }, {
a: 10,
b: 20,
c: 30
});
assert(obj.a === 1);
assert(obj.b === 2);
assert(obj.c === 30);
if (define.supportsDescriptors) {
assert.deepEqual(Object.keys(obj), ['a', 'b']);
assert.deepEqual(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(obj, 'c'), {
configurable: true,
enumerable: false,
value: 30,
writable: false
});
}
Then, with predicates:
var define = require('define-properties');
var assert = require('assert');
var obj = define({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }, {
a: 10,
b: 20,
c: 30
}, {
a: function () { return false; },
b: function () { return true; }
});
assert(obj.a === 1);
assert(obj.b === 20);
assert(obj.c === 3);
if (define.supportsDescriptors) {
assert.deepEqual(Object.keys(obj), ['a', 'c']);
assert.deepEqual(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(obj, 'b'), {
configurable: true,
enumerable: false,
value: 20,
writable: false
});
}
Simply clone the repo, npm install
, and run npm test
