setter-getterify

generates setters and getters for an object

Syntax

setterGetterify(object, properties, callbacks);

Example

var setterGetterify = require('setter-getterify');
 
var thing = { some: 'properties' };
var coords = { x: 0, y: 0 };
 
setterGetterify(thing, coords, {
    afterSetting: function(property, value) {
        console.log(property, 'was set to', value);
    }
});
 
console.log(thing);
console.log(thing.x);
 
thing.x = 123;
 
console.log(thing);
console.log(coords);

{ some: 'properties', x: [Getter/Setter], y: [Getter/Setter] }
0
x was set to 123
{ some: 'properties', x: [Getter/Setter], y: [Getter/Setter] }
{ x: 123, y: 0 }

The values are not stored on the object but in the properties object. This can be used to keep them private and make sure they are only accessed with said setters/getters.

This is useful if you only care about that data when storing/retrieving the object for example.

The callbacks parameter is entirely optional. Currently only afterGetting is implemented.
