The accessor property helps us in implementing getter and setter functions in JavaScript.They execute a function on getting or setting a value.
There are four attributes of an accessor property −
- get − It gets called when a property is read. It doesn’t’ take any arguments/
- set − It gets called when a property is set. It takes only one argument.
- enumerable − Allows the object to be iterable when set to true.
- configurable − When set to false it will not allow to delete the property or change its values.
Following is the code for accessor property and its attributes −
