JavaScript handler.set() method in JavaScript is a trap for setting a property value. This method returns a boolean value.
Syntax:
const p = new Proxy(target, {
set: function(target, property, value, receiver) {

- target: This parameter holds the target object.
- property: This parameter holds the name or Symbol of the property.
- value: This parameter holds the new value of the property.
- receiver: This parameter holds the object to which the assignment was originally directed.

Below examples illustrate the handler.set() Method in JavaScript:
Example 1: In this example, we will see the basic use of the handler.set() Method in JavaScript.
javascript
function gfg() { this.users = "Millions";}const handler1 = { set(obj, prop, value) { if ((prop === 'users') && ((value % 2) !== 0)) { console.log('GEEKSFORGEEKS : Computer Science Portal'); } else { return Reflect.set(...arguments); } }};const gfg1 = new gfg();const proxy1 = new Proxy(gfg1, handler1);proxy1.users = 1;console.log(proxy1.users); |
Output:
"GEEKSFORGEEKS : Computer Science Portal" "Millions"
Example 2: In this example, we will see the basic use of the handler.set() Method in JavaScript.
javascript
const p = new Proxy({}, { set: function (target, prop, value, receiver) { target[prop] = value; console.log('property set: ' + prop + ' = ' + value); return true; }})console.log('a' in p);p.a = 10;console.log('a' in p);console.log(p.a);let x = { foo: 1 };let proxy = new Proxy(x, { set: function (target, name, value, proxy) { target[name] = value + " --> " + value.toUpperCase(); }});proxy.foo = 'neveropen';console.log(x.foo); |
Output:
false "property set: a = 10" true 10 "neveropen --> GEEKSFORGEEKS"
