Return an array of an object's own enumerable and non-enumerable property names.
npm install @stdlib/utils-property-namesWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js. The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases. When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there. To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

> Return an array of an object's own enumerable and non-enumerable property names.
``bash`
npm install @stdlib/utils-property-names
`javascript`
var propertyNames = require( '@stdlib/utils-property-names' );
#### propertyNames( obj )
Returns an array of an object's own enumerable and non-enumerable property names.
`javascript
var obj = {
'a': 1,
'b': 2
};
var keys = propertyNames( obj );
// e.g., returns [ 'a', 'b' ]
`
- Name order is not guaranteed, as object key enumeration is not specified according to the [ECMAScript specification][ecma-262-for-in]. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an object's keys, thus allowing for deterministic extraction.Object.getOwnPropertyNames()
- In contrast to the built-in , if provided null or undefined, the function returns an empty array, rather than throwing an error.
`javascript
var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils-define-property' );
var propertyNames = require( '@stdlib/utils-property-names' );
function Foo() {
this.beep = 'boop';
this.a = {
'b': 'c'
};
defineProperty( this, 'baz', {
'value': 'qux',
'configurable': true,
'writable': true,
'enumerable': false
});
return this;
}
Foo.prototype.foo = [ 'bar' ];
var obj = new Foo();
var keys = propertyNames( obj );
console.log( keys );
// e.g., => [ 'beep', 'a', 'baz' ]
