JavaScript Proxy/handler Reference

JavaScript Proxy Object is used to define the custom behavior of fundamental operations (e.g. property lookup, assignment, enumeration, function invocation, etc).

Syntax:

const p = new Proxy(target, {
 Proxy method: function(target, thisArg, argumentsList) {
  }
});

Example: Below examples illustrate the handler.apply() method in JavaScript:

<script>
    function sum(a, b) {
      return a + b;
    }
     
    const handler = {
      apply: function(target, thisArg, argumentsList) {
        console.log(`Calculate sum: ${argumentsList}`);
     
        return target(argumentsList[0], argumentsList[1])*14/3;
      }
    };
     
    const proxy1 = new Proxy(sum, handler);
     
    console.log(sum(23, 4));
    console.log(proxy1(23, 4));
</script>

Output:

27
"Calculate sum: 23, 4"
126

The complete list of JavaScript Proxy is listed below:

JavaScript Proxy Constructor: In JavaScript, a constructor gets called when an object is created using the new keyword.

JavaScript Proxy Properties: There are no properties for proxy objects.

JavaScript Proxy Methods: JavaScript methods are actions that can be performed on objects.

• Static Method: If the method is called using the proxy class itself then it is called a static method.
