internal-prop

Gives access to native objects internal properties, such as a proxy's [[Target]] or [[Handler]] or the private fields of an object

Warning

This module is native, it means that it contains c++ code that gets compiled every time the module is installed to ensure that the binaries can be read by your machine, the problem is that node apparently uses external tools that may be not present in your machine. If you don't have the necessary to compile the binaries npm should tell you what you need too do to achieve that. If the compilation fails regardless try deleting the node-gyp cache folder (Located at %LocalAppData%\node-gyp on windows)

Usage

The module gives you indipendent functions that you can use to extract internal properties of objects

import { getProxyData, getPromiseData, getOwnPrivateSymbols, getPrivateSymbolsProxy } from "internal-prop";

Supported

getProxyData()

If the provided value is a Proxy, it returns an object containing the target and the handler, otherwise it returns null

getPromiseData()

If the provided value is a Promise, it returns an object (PromiseResult) containing the state and the eventual result, otherwise it returns null. The returned state can be:

• pending (0): The result will be null
• fulfilled (1): The result of the Promise
• rejected (2): The result will be the error that occurred

getOwnPrivateSymbols()

If the provided value is an Object, it returns an array containing the private keys in the object (They are a special kind of symbols)

getPrivateSymbolsProxy()

Creates an object containing a property for each private symbol of the passed object. You can use the function like this:

import { getPrivateSymbolsProxy } from "internal-prop";

class Class { #field = 1; get() { return this.#field; } }

const inst = new Class();
const priv = getPrivateSymbolsProxy(inst);
console.log(priv.field, inst.get()); // → 1 1
priv.field = 3;
console.log(priv.field, inst.get()); // → 3 3

But doesn't it break encapsulation?
