name


Polyfill of ES.next [private name objects][]. This implementation patches ES5
Object methods where possible to emulate private names as much as possible.
Still in some cases private names can be discovered:

- If Object methods from other JS contexts are used.
- If properties are simply set like shown below, private names will be
revealed by for iteration:

``js
object[secret] = value
`

It is recommended to use Object.defineProperty or
Object.defineProperties for defining private named properties. Those
methods will make sure to mark property as non-enumerable so that such
propertes won't be reavealed.

Install

npm install name

Use


`js
var Name = require('name')
var secret = new Name()
function MyClass(privateData) {
// do not do this[secret] = privateData do following instead
Object.defineProperty(this, secret, {
value: privateData
})
this.name = 'my'
}
MyClass.prototype = {
doStuff: function() {
/.../ this[secret] /.../
}
}

var my = new MyClass()
Object.keys(my) // => [ 'my' ]
Object.getOwnPropertyNames(my) // => [ 'my' ]

var names = []
for (var name in my) names.push(name)
names // => [ 'my' ]
``
