JavaScript Proxy revocable() Method
The Proxy.revocable() method is a built-in method in JavaScript that creates a revocable Proxy object. This method returns an object that contains two properties: proxy and revoke.
The proxy property is a Proxy object, which is used to intercept and handle operations on another object. The revoke property is a function that can be called to revoke the Proxy, which means that any further operation on the proxy object will throw a TypeError.
Here's an example of how to use the Proxy.revocable() method:
Syntax:
Proxy.revocable(tar, hand)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters.
- tar: It is the object on which we want the proxy to be applied.
- hand: This object contains the logic function which defines how the proxy will operate on the target object.
Return Value: It returns a plain JavaScript object with two values where the first value is the proxy object and the second object is the revoke function to detach the proxy.
Example 1: This example will create a Proxy object which we can revoke.
let details = {
name: "Raj",
Course: "DSA",
}
const {proxy, revoke} = Proxy.revocable(details, {});
console.log(proxy.name);
console.log(proxy.Course);
revoke();
console.log(proxy.name);
let details = {
name: "Raj",
Course: "DSA",
}
const {proxy, revoke} = Proxy.revocable(details, {});
console.log(proxy.name);
console.log(proxy.Course);
revoke();
console.log(proxy.name);
Output: We get an error if we try to access the Proxy object after it has been revoked

Example 2: This example revokes a proxy based on a condition.
let details = {
name: "Raj",
Course: "DSA",
}
const {proxy, revoke} = Proxy.revocable(details, {
get: function(tar, prop){
if(prop == "Course"){
revoke();
return undefined;
}
return tar[prop];
}
});
console.log(proxy.name);
console.log(proxy.Course);
console.log(proxy.name);
let details = {
name: "Raj",
Course: "DSA",
}
const {proxy, revoke} = Proxy.revocable(details, {
get: function(tar, prop){
if(prop == "Course"){
revoke();
return undefined;
}
return tar[prop];
}
});
console.log(proxy.name);
console.log(proxy.Course);
console.log(proxy.name);
Output: If we try to access the Course in the details the Proxy object gets revoked
