inheritedWritablePropertySymbols

Return an array of an object's inherited writable symbol properties.

Usage

var inheritedWritablePropertySymbols = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-writable-property-symbols' );

inheritedWritablePropertySymbols( obj[, level] )

Returns an array of an object's inherited writable symbol properties.

var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' );
var hasSymbolSupport = require( '@stdlib/assert/has-symbol-support' );
var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol/ctor' );

var hasSymbols = hasSymbolSupport();
var symbols;
var f;

function Foo() {
    if ( hasSymbols ) {
        defineProperty( this, Symbol( 'a' ), {
            'configurable': false,
            'enumerable': false,
            'writable': true,
            'value': 'a'
        });
    }
    return this;
}

if ( hasSymbols ) {
    defineProperty( Foo.prototype, Symbol( 'b' ), {
        'configurable': false,
        'enumerable': false,
        'writable': true,
        'value': 'b'
    });
}

f = new Foo();
symbols = inheritedWritablePropertySymbols( f );

By default, the function walks an object's entire prototype chain. To limit the inheritance level, provide a level argument.

var symbols = inheritedWritablePropertySymbols( [], 1 );

Notes

Property order is not guaranteed, as object property enumeration is not specified according to the ECMAScript specification. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an object's properties, thus allowing for deterministic extraction.

Examples

var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' );
var hasSymbolSupport = require( '@stdlib/assert/has-symbol-support' );
var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol/ctor' );
var inheritedWritablePropertySymbols = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-writable-property-symbols' );

var hasSymbols = hasSymbolSupport();
var symbols;
var obj;

function Foo() {
    this.a = 'a';
    defineProperty( this, 'b', {
        'configurable': false,
        'enumerable': false,
        'writable': false,
        'value': 'b'
    });
    if ( hasSymbols ) {
        this[ Symbol( 'a' ) ] = 'a';
        defineProperty( this, Symbol( 'b' ), {
            'configurable': false,
            'enumerable': false,
            'writable': false,
            'value': 'b'
        });
    }
    return this;
}

Foo.prototype.c = 'c';
defineProperty( Foo.prototype, 'd', {
    'configurable': false,
    'enumerable': false,
    'writable': false,
    'value': 'd'
});
if ( hasSymbols ) {
    Foo.prototype[ Symbol( 'c' ) ] = 'c';
    defineProperty( Foo.prototype, Symbol( 'd' ), {
        'configurable': false,
        'enumerable': false,
        'writable': false,
        'value': 'd'
    });
}

obj = new Foo();
symbols = inheritedWritablePropertySymbols( obj );

console.log( symbols );
