CodingForums.com - viewing non-iterable properties

the big three now support a way to iterate the new {enumerable:false} - style properties long-used by browser makers themselves.

Code:

Object.getOwnPropertyNames( anyObject );

a nicer way to access it is via a shortcut on Object, next to .keys():

Code:

Object.keys2=Object.getOwnPropertyNames;



Object.keys(window).length // 202

Object.keys2(window).length // 337

for example, user-defined "hidden" props are actually available:

Code:

o={a:1};

Object.defineProperty(o, "b", { value: 2, enumerable: false });



Object.getOwnPropertyNames(o)+''; // ["a", "b"]

Object.keys(o) // ["a"]

o.toSource() // "({a:1})" (ff)

o['b'] // 2

also, now you can easily iterate Native Methods:

Code:

Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Number.prototype)+'';

//ff: "constructor,toSource,toString,toLocaleString,valueOf,toFixed,toExponential,toPrecision"

//ch: "constructor,toString,toLocaleString,valueOf,toFixed,toExponential,toPrecision"

//ie: "constructor,toExponential,toFixed,toPrecision,toLocaleString,toString,valueOf"

Code:



Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Array.prototype)+'';

//ff: "length,constructor,toSource,toString,toLocaleString,join,reverse,sort,push,pop,shift,unshift,splice,concat,slice,indexOf,lastIndexOf,forEach,map,reduce,reduceRight,filter,some,every,iterator"

//ch: "length,constructor,toString,toLocaleString,join,pop,push,concat,reverse,shift,unshift,slice,splice,sort,filter,forEach,some,every,map,indexOf,lastIndexOf,reduce,reduceRight"

//ie: "constructor,push,concat,join,pop,reverse,shift,slice,sort,splice,toLocaleString,toString,unshift,indexOf,every,filter,forEach,lastIndexOf,map,reduce,reduceRight,some,length"
