The Reflect.setPrototypeOf()
static method is like Object.setPrototypeOf()
but returns a Boolean
. It sets the prototype (i.e., the internal [[Prototype]]
property) of a specified object.

Reflect.setPrototypeOf(target, prototype)
A Boolean
indicating whether or not the prototype was successfully set.
Reflect.setPrototypeOf()
provides the reflective semantic of setting the prototype of an object. At the very low level, setting the prototype returns a boolean (as is the case with the proxy handler). Object.setPrototypeOf()
provides nearly the same semantic, but it throws a TypeError
if the status is false
(the operation was unsuccessful), while Reflect.setPrototypeOf()
directly returns the status.
Reflect.setPrototypeOf()
invokes the [[SetPrototypeOf]]
object internal method of target
.
Reflect.setPrototypeOf({}, Object.prototype); // true // It can change an object's [[Prototype]] to null. Reflect.setPrototypeOf({}, null); // true // Returns false if target is not extensible. Reflect.setPrototypeOf(Object.freeze({}), null); // false // Returns false if it cause a prototype chain cycle. const target = {}; const proto = Object.create(target); Reflect.setPrototypeOf(target, proto); // false
