You should set enumerable to true. In Object.defineProperty its false by default. According to MDN.
enumerable
trueif and only if this property shows up during enumeration of the properties on the corresponding object.Defaults to false.
Non-enumerable means that property will not be shown in Object.keys() or for..in loop neither in console
let profile = {
name: 'Barry Allen',
}
// I added a new property in the profile object.
Object.defineProperty(profile , 'age', {
value: 23,
writable: true,
enumerable: true
})
console.log(profile)
console.log(profile.age)All the properties and methods on prototype object of built-in classes are non-enumerable. Thats is the reason you can call them from instance but they don’t appear while iterating.
To get all properties(including non-enumerable)Object.getOwnPropertyNames()
.
let profile = {
name: 'Barry Allen',
}
// I added a new property in the profile object.
Object.defineProperty(profile , 'age', {
value: 23,
writable: true,
enumerable: false
})
for(let key in profile) console.log(key) //only name will be displayed.
console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(profile)) //You will se age too
