Javascript: hiding prototype methods in for loop?

by

You can achieve desired outcome from the other end by making the prototype methods not enumerable:

Object.defineProperty(Array.prototype, "containsKey", {
  enumerable: false,
  value: function(obj) {
      for(var key in this)
        if (key == obj) return true;
      return false;
    }
});

This usually works better if you have control over method definitions, and in particular if you have no control over how your code will be called by other people, which is a common assumption in library code development.
