The Object defineProperties() method
Find out all about the JavaScript defineProperties() method of the Object object
Creates or configures multiple object properties at once. Returns the object.
Takes 2 arguments. The first is an object upon which we’re going to create or configure the properties. The second is an object of properties.
Example:
const dog = {}
Object.defineProperties(dog, {
breed: {
value: 'Siberian Husky'
}
})
console.log(dog.breed) //'Siberian Husky'
I didn’t just say breed: 'Siberian Husky'
but I had to pass a property descriptor object, defined at the beginning of this page.
It can be used in conjunction with Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors()
to copy properties over from another object:
const wolf = { /*... */ }
const dog = {}
Object.defineProperties(dog, Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(wolf))
