Javascript Object Data Property

Introduction

Javascript object has two types of properties: data properties and accessor properties.

Data properties contain a single location for a data value.

Values are read from and written to this location.

Data properties have four attributes describing their behavior:

Attribute Default Value Meaning
[[Configurable]] true Indicates if the property may be redefined by removing the property via delete, changing the property's attributes, or changing the property into an accessor property.
[[Enumerable]]true Indicates if the property will be returned in a for-in loop.
[[Writable]] true Indicates if the property's value can be changed.
[[Value]] undefined Contains the actual data value for the property. This is the location from which the property's value is read and the location to which new values are saved.

When a property is explicitly added to an object, [[Configurable]], [[Enumerable]], and [[Writable]] are all set to true while the [[Value]] attribute is set to the assigned value.

For example:

let person = { 
   name: "HTML" 
}; 

Here, the property called name is created and a value of "HTML" is assigned.

[[Value]] is set to "HTML".
