Property descriptors

Search…

Property descriptors are standard JavaScript property descriptors. They are applied last thing when an object instance is being created. See more info in stamp internals.
const Key = stampit.props({
  key: 'my secret key'
})
​
const auth = Key()
auth.key === 'my secret key'
auth.key = 'ha ha ha'
auth.key === 'ha ha ha' // oops :(
​
const FrozenKey = stampit.propertyDescriptors(Key, { // composing the two
  key: { // this is a standard JavaScript property descriptor
    configurable: false,
    writable: false,
  }
})
​
const auth = FrozenKey()
auth.key === 'my secret key'
auth.key = 'ha ha ha'
auth.key === 'my secret key' // OK!!! The "key" was not overwritten.
The code above adds some more metadata to the Key stamp. It protects the key property from overwrites
Other ways to add property descriptors
Exactly the same stamp can be created in few ways. Here they all are.
const keyPropertyDescriptor = {
  key: {
    configurable: false,
    writable: false,
  }
}
​
const FrozenKey = stampit({
  propertyDescriptors: keyPropertyDescriptor
})
​
const FrozenKey = stampit.propertyDescriptors(keyPropertyDescriptor)
​
const FrozenKey = stampit().propertyDescriptors(keyPropertyDescriptor)
