The get keyword will bind an object property to a function. When this property is looked up now the getter function is called. The return value of the getter function then determines which property is returned.
Example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
const person = { firstName: 'Willem', lastName: 'Veen', get fullName() { return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`; } } console.log(person.fullName); |
When the fullname property gets looked up
the getter function gets executed and its
returned value will be the value of fullname
