What is a proxy in javascript<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Proxy in javascript is used to define custom behaviour for fundamental operations. We will have a proxy object where we will define our desired behaviour and wrap the object with proxy API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic Example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
const handler = {\n  get: function(obj, prop) {\n    return prop in obj ?\n      obj[prop] :\n      37;\n  }\n};\n\nconst p = new Proxy({}, handler);\np.a = 1;\np.b = undefined;\n\nconsole.log(p.a, p.b); \n\/\/  1, undefined\n\nconsole.log('c' in p, p.c); \n\/\/  false, 37<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The above example has an object that has a getter method. It acts as a getter method with setter only if the property doesn’t exist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Syntax<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
const p = new Proxy(target, handler)<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has method revocable. The Proxy.revocable()<\/strong><\/code> method is used to create a revocable Proxy<\/code><\/a> object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can also use methods such as set, apply in the handler and write our rules based on need and wrap it with Proxy API.
