# property descriptor | ||
# Property Descriptor | ||
|
||
An [Object](object.md) can be assigned properites via its [DefineProperty](object.md#defineproperty) and [DefineProperties](object.md#defineproperties) function, which take PropertyDescrptor(s) as their parameters. The PropertyDescriptor can contain either values or functions, which are then assigned to the Object. Note that a single instance of a PropertyDescriptor class can only contain either one value, or at most two functions. PropertyDescriptors can only be created through the class methods [Accessor](#accessor), [Function](#function), or [Value](#value), each of which return a new static instance of a PropertyDescriptor. | ||
|
||
## Example | ||
|
||
```cpp | ||
#include <napi.h> | ||
|
||
using namespace Napi; | ||
|
||
Value TestGetter(const CallbackInfo& info) { | ||
return Boolean::New(info.Env(), testValue); | ||
} | ||
|
||
void TestSetter(const CallbackInfo& info) { | ||
testValue = info[0].As<Boolean>(); | ||
} | ||
|
||
Value TestFunction(const CallbackInfo& info) { | ||
return Boolean::New(info.Env(), true); | ||
} | ||
|
||
Void Init(Env env) { | ||
// Accessor | ||
PropertyDescriptor pd1 = PropertyDescriptor::Accessor("pd1", TestGetter); | ||
PropertyDescriptor pd2 = PropertyDescriptor::Accessor("pd2", TestGetter, TestSetter); | ||
|
||
// Function | ||
PropertyDescriptor pd3 = PropertyDescriptor::Function("function", TestFunction); | ||
|
||
// Value | ||
Boolean true_bool = Boolean::New(env, true); | ||
PropertyDescriptor pd4 = PropertyDescriptor::Value("boolean value", TestFunction, napi_writable); | ||
|
||
// Assign to an Object | ||
Object obj = Object::New(env); | ||
obj.DefineProperties({pd1, pd2, pd3, pd4}); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
## Methods | ||
### Constructor | ||
```cpp | ||
Napi::PropertyDescriptor::PropertyDescriptor (napi_property_descriptor desc); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
* `[in] desc`: A PropertyDescriptor that is needed in order to create another PropertyDescriptor. | ||
|
||
### Accessor | ||
|
||
```cpp | ||
static PropertyDescriptor Napi::PropertyDescriptor::Accessor (___ name, | ||
Getter getter, | ||
napi_property_attributes attributes = napi_default, | ||
void *data = nullptr); | ||
``` | ||
* `[in] name`: The name used for the getter function. | ||
* `[in] getter`: A getter function. | ||
* `[in] attributes`: Potential attributes for the getter function. | ||
* `[in] data`: A pointer to data of any type, default is a null pointer. | ||
Returns a PropertyDescriptor that contains a function. | ||
The name of the property can be any of the following types: | ||
- `const char*` | ||
- `const std::string &` | ||
- `napi_value value` | ||
- `Name` | ||
```cpp | ||
static PropertyDescriptor Napi::PropertyDescriptor::Accessor (___ name, | ||
Getter getter, | ||
Setter setter, | ||
napi_property_attributes attributes = napi_default, | ||
void *data = nullptr); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
* `[in] name`: The name of the getter and setter function. | ||
* `[in] getter`: The getter function. | ||
* `[in] setter`: The setter function. | ||
* `[in] attributes`: Potential attributes for the getter function. | ||
* `[in] data`: A pointer to data of any type, default is a null pointer. | ||
|
||
Returns a PropertyDescriptor that contains a Getter and Setter function. | ||
|
||
The name of the property can be any of the following types: | ||
- `const char*` | ||
- `const std::string &` | ||
- `napi_value value` | ||
- `Name` | ||
|
||
### Function | ||
|
||
```cpp | ||
static PropertyDescriptor Napi::PropertyDescriptor::Function (___ name, | ||
Callable cb, | ||
napi_property_attributes attributes = napi_default, | ||
void *data = nullptr); | ||
``` | ||
* `[in] name`: The name of the Callable function. | ||
* `[in] cb`: The function | ||
* `[in] attributes`: Potential attributes for the getter function. | ||
* `[in] data`: A pointer to data of any type, default is a null pointer. | ||
Returns a PropertyDescriptor that contains a callable Function. | ||
The name of the property can be any of the following types: | ||
- `const char*` | ||
- `const std::string &` | ||
- `napi_value value` | ||
- `Name` | ||
### Value | ||
```cpp | ||
static PropertyDescriptor Napi::PropertyDescriptor::Value (___ name, | ||
napi_value value, | ||
napi_property_attributes attributes = napi_default); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The name of the property can be any of the following types: | ||
- `const char*` | ||
- `const std::string &` | ||
- `napi_value value` | ||
- `Name` | ||
|
||

||
### napi\_property\_attributes | ||
`napi_property_attributes` are flags used to indicate to JavaScript certain permissions that the property is meant to have. The following are the flag options: | ||
- napi\_default, | ||
- napi\_writable, | ||
- napi\_enumerable, | ||
- napi\_configurable | ||
For more information on the flags and on napi\_property\_attributes, please read the documentation [here](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/api/n-api.md#napi_property_attributes). | ||
