The Object defineProperty() method
Find out all about the JavaScript defineProperty() method of the Object object
THE AHA STACK MASTERCLASS
Launching May 27th
Creates or configures one object property.
Returns the object.
Takes 3 arguments. The first is an object upon which we’re going to create or configure the properties. The second is the property name defined as a string. The third is an object with the property definition.
Example:
const dog = {}
Object.defineProperty(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.
