In JavaScript, the getOwnPropertySymbols()
method of the Object object allows you to obtain an array of symbols defined on an object.
Symbols are a feature introduced in ES2015, and this method was also added in ES2015.
Here is an example of how to use the getOwnPropertySymbols()
method:
const dog = {}
const r = Symbol('Roger')
const s = Symbol('Syd')
dog[r] = {
name: 'Roger',
age: 6
}
dog[s] = {
name: 'Syd',
age: 5
}
Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(dog) //[ Symbol(Roger), Symbol(Syd) ]
By calling Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(dog)
, you will receive an array containing the symbols associated with the dog
object, which in this case are Symbol(Roger)
and Symbol(Syd)
.
