JavaScript handler.has() method in JavaScript is used to “hide” any property that you want. It is a trap for in operator. It returns the Boolean value. If you want to access the property, it returns the Boolean value true; otherwise, it returns false. Whether the key was included with the original object or not.
Syntax:
const p = new Proxy(target, { has: function(target, prop) { } });
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- target: This parameter is the target object.
- prop: This parameter is the property that is going to be checked for existence.
Return value: This method returns a Boolean value true if you want the property to be accessed.
Below examples illustrate the handler.has() method in JavaScript:
Example 1: In this example, we will check if the object has the values or not using the handler.has() method in JavaScript.
javascript
const handler1 = { has(target, key) { if (key[1] === '1' ) { return false ; } return key in target; } }; const monster1 = { p1roperty1: 'neveropen' , property2: 4 }; const proxy1 = new Proxy(monster1, handler1); console.log( 'property2' in proxy1); console.log( 'p1roperty1' in proxy1); console.log( 'p1roperty1' in monster1); |
Output:
true false true
Example 2: In this example, we will check if the object has the values or not using the handler.has() method in JavaScript.
javascript
let s = { value: 1 } let p = new Proxy(s, { has: function (target, prop) { console.log(prop); return false ; } }); console.log( 'prop' in p); let p1 = new Proxy(s, { has: function (target, prop) { console.log(prop); return true ; } }); console.log( 'prop' in p1); |
Output:
"prop" false "prop" true
