Proxies
Proxies
Proxies enable creation of objects with the full range of behaviors available to host objects. Can be used for interception, object virtualization, logging/profiling, etc.
// Proxying a normal object
var target = {};
var handler = {
get: function (receiver, name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}
};
var p = new Proxy(target, handler);
p.world === "Hello, world!";
// Proxying a function object
var target = function () { return "I am the target"; };
var handler = {
apply: function (receiver, ...args) {
return "I am the proxy";
}
};
var p = new Proxy(target, handler);
p() === "I am the proxy";
var handler =
{
// target.prop
get: ...,
// target.prop = value
set: ...,
// 'prop' in target
has: ...,
// delete target.prop
deleteProperty: ...,
// target(...args)
apply: ...,
// new target(...args)
construct: ...,
// Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(target, 'prop')
getOwnPropertyDescriptor: ...,
// Object.defineProperty(target, 'prop', descriptor)
defineProperty: ...,
// Object.getPrototypeOf(target), Reflect.getPrototypeOf(target),
// target.__proto__, object.isPrototypeOf(target), object instanceof target
getPrototypeOf: ...,
// Object.setPrototypeOf(target), Reflect.setPrototypeOf(target)
setPrototypeOf: ...,
// for (let i in target) {}
enumerate: ...,
// Object.keys(target)
ownKeys: ...,
// Object.preventExtensions(target)
preventExtensions: ...,
// Object.isExtensible(target)
isExtensible :...
}
Reflect API
Full reflection API exposing the runtime-level meta-operations on objects. This is effectively the inverse of the Proxy API, and allows making calls corresponding to the same meta-operations as the proxy traps. Especially useful for implementing proxies.
var O = {a: 1};
Object.defineProperty(O, 'b', {value: 2});
O[Symbol('c')] = 3;
Reflect.ownKeys(O); // ['a', 'b', Symbol(c)]
function C(a, b){
this.c = a + b;
}
var instance = Reflect.construct(C, [20, 22]);
instance.c; // 42
