handler.enumerate()

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The handler.enumerate() method used to be a trap for for...in statements, but has been removed from the ECMAScript standard in edition 7 and is deprecated in browsers.

Syntax

var p = new Proxy(target, {
  enumerate(target) {
  }
});

Parameters

The following parameter is passed to the enumerate method. this is bound to the handler.

target
The target object.

Return value

An iterator object.

Description

The handler.enumerate method is a trap for for...in statements.

Interceptions

This trap can intercept these operations:

Invariants

If the following invariants are violated, the proxy will throw a TypeError:

  • The enumerate method must return an object.

Examples

The following code traps for...in statements.

var p = new Proxy({}, {
  enumerate(target) {
    console.log("called");
    return ["a", "b", "c"][Symbol.iterator]();
  }
});

for (var x in p) { // "called"
  console.log(x);  // "a"
}                  // "b"
                   // "c"

The following code violates the invariant.

var p = new Proxy({}, {
  enumerate(target) {
    return 1;
  }
});

for (var x in p) {} // TypeError is thrown

Note: Both examples make use of the shorthand syntax for method definitions.
