Reflect.get()

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨September 2016⁩.

The Reflect.get() static method is like the property accessor syntax, but as a function.

Try it

const object = {
  x: 1,
  y: 2,
};

console.log(Reflect.get(object, "x"));
// Expected output: 1

const array = ["zero", "one"];

console.log(Reflect.get(array, 1));
// Expected output: "one"

Syntax

Reflect.get(target, propertyKey)
Reflect.get(target, propertyKey, receiver)

Parameters

target: The target object on which to get the property.
propertyKey: The name of the property to get.
receiver Optional: The value of this provided for the call to target if a getter is encountered.

Return value

The value of the property.

Exceptions

TypeError: Thrown if target is not an object.

Description

Reflect.get() provides the reflective semantic of a property access. That is, Reflect.get(target, propertyKey, receiver) is semantically equivalent to:

target[propertyKey];

Note that in a normal property access, target and receiver would observably be the same object.

Reflect.get() invokes the [[Get]] object internal method of target.

Examples

Using Reflect.get()

// Object
const obj1 = { x: 1, y: 2 };
Reflect.get(obj1, "x"); // 1

// Array
Reflect.get(["zero", "one"], 1); // "one"

// Proxy with a get handler
const obj2 = new Proxy(
  { p: 1 },
  {
    get(t, k, r) {
      return `${k}bar`;
    },
  },
);
Reflect.get(obj2, "foo"); // "foobar"

// Proxy with get handler and receiver
const obj3 = new Proxy(
  { p: 1, foo: 2 },
  {
    get(t, prop, receiver) {
      return `${receiver[prop]}bar`;
    },
  },
);
Reflect.get(obj3, "foo", { foo: 3 }); // "3bar"
