Object() parameters The Object() constructor function takes one optional parameter. That parameter is the value you would like to create. If you provide no parameter, then a null or undefined value will be assumed. Sample: sample70.html // Create an empty object with no properties. var cody1 = new Object(); var cody2 = new Object(undefined); var cody3 = new Object(null); console.log(typeof cody1, typeof cody2, typeof cody3); // Logs 'object object object'. If a value besides null or undefined is passed to the Object constructor, the value passed will be created as an object. So theoretically, we can use the Object() constructor to create any of the other native objects that have a constructor. In the next example, I do just that. Sample: sample71.html /* Use the Object() constructor to create string, number, array, function, Boolean, and regex objects. */ // The following logs confirm object creation. console.log(new Object('foo')); console.log(new Object(1)); console.log(new Object([])); console.log(new Object(function () { })); console.log(new Object(true)); console.log(new Object(/\bt[a-z]+\b/)); /* Creating string, number, array, function, Boolean, and regex object instances via the Object() constructor is really never done. I am just demonstrating that it can be done. */ 84
Object() properties and methods The Object() object has the following properties (not including inherited properties and methods): Properties (e.g., Object.prototype;): prototype Object() object instance properties and methods Object() object instances have the following properties and methods (does not include inherited properties and methods): Instance Properties (e.g., var myObject = {}; myObject.constructor;): constructor Instance Methods (e.g., var myObject = {}; myObject.toString();): hasOwnProperty() isPrototypeOf() propertyIsEnumerable() toLocaleString() toString() valueOf() Notes The prototype chain ends with Object.prototype, and thus all of the properties and methods of Object() are inherited by all <strong>JavaScript</strong> objects. Creating Object() objects using "object literals" Creating an "object literal" entails instantiating an object with or without properties using braces (e.g., var cody = {};). Remember at the beginning of Chapter 1 when we created the one-off cody object and then gave the cody object properties using dot notation? Let's do that again. 85
