What are getters and setters for in ECMAScript 6 classes?

by

These setter and getter allow you to use the properties directly (without using the parenthesis)

var emp = new Employee("TruMan1");

if (emp.name) { 
  // uses the get method in the background
}

emp.name = "New name"; // uses the setter in the background

This is only to set and get the value of the property.
