inheritedPropertyDescriptors

Return an object's inherited property descriptors.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/utils-inherited-property-descriptors

Usage

var inheritedPropertyDescriptors = require( '@stdlib/utils-inherited-property-descriptors' );

inheritedPropertyDescriptors( obj[, level] )

Returns an object's inherited property descriptors.

function Foo() {
    this.a = 'b';
    return this;
}

Foo.prototype.beep = 'boop';

var f = new Foo();
var desc = inheritedPropertyDescriptors( f );
// returns { 'beep': {...}, ... }

By default, the function walks an object's entire prototype chain. To limit the inheritance level, provide a level argument.

var inherit = require( '@stdlib/utils-inherit' );

function Bar() {
    return this;
}

Bar.prototype.boop = 'beep';

function Foo() {
    Bar.call( this );
    this.a = 'b';
    return this;
}

inherit( Foo, Bar );
Foo.prototype.beep = 'boop';

var f = new Foo();
var desc = inheritedPropertyDescriptors( f, 1 );
// returns { 'beep': {...}, ... }

Notes

In contrast to the built-in Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors(), if provided null or undefined, the function returns an empty object, rather than throwing an error.

Examples

var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils-define-property' );
var inheritedPropertyDescriptors = require( '@stdlib/utils-inherited-property-descriptors' );

function Foo() {
    this.beep = 'boop';
    this.a = {
        'b': 'c'
    };
    defineProperty( this, 'baz', {
        'value': 'qux',
        'configurable': true,
        'writable': true,
        'enumerable': false
    });
    return this;
}

Foo.prototype.foo = [ 'bar' ];

var obj = new Foo();
var desc = inheritedPropertyDescriptors( obj );

console.log( desc );
// => { 'foo': {...}, ... }
