The Object defineProperty() method
Find out all about the JavaScript defineProperty() method of the Object object
Creates or configures one object property.
Returns the object.
Takes 3 arguments. The first is an object upon which we’re going to create or configure the properties. The second is the property name defined as a string. The third is an object with the property definition.
Example:
const dog = {}
Object.defineProperty(dog, 'breed', {
value: 'Siberian Husky'
})
console.log(dog.breed) //'Siberian Husky'
I didn’t just say breed: 'Siberian Husky'
but I had to pass a property descriptor object, defined at the beginning of this page.
