🔸prototype

function's `prototype` property.

JS ⟩ value ⟩ object ⟩ function ⟩ prototype

only a relatively small number of objects have a "prototype" property, it's these objects that define the prototypes for all the other objects.

let obj = new F();    // obj.__proto__ === F.prototype

⚖️ function's prototype vs. class's prototype (property)

function's prototype is writable. (can be reassigned)
class's prototype is read-only❗(can't be reassigned)

function's prototype (property)

is (only) used as a new object's prototype.
should be either an object or null, other values won’t work❗

👉 javascript.info

⭐️ every function has a default prototype. (with the only constructor property that points back to the function itself)

function A(){}
A.prototype.constructor === A        // true

if A.prototype is an object, then let a = new A() will set a.__proto__ = A.prototype.

⭐️ 注意：

如果改寫函數的 prototype，如：A.prototype = {}，則往後的 new A() 物件就再也沒有 constructor 屬性，除非你自己在新的 prototype 中再加入 constructor 屬性❗️(舊的物件沒有影響，因為舊的 prototype 依然存在，舊的物件的 [[Prototype]] 屬性沒有改變，依然指向舊的 prototype)

問：

「 Google Apps Script 的 classes (如：Sheet, Range ...) 是否有 prototype」❓

答：

「實驗結果是：沒有 ❗️」
「 Sheet 物件的 prototype 直接連結 Object.prototype 」

💾 程式：

function test_SheetPrototype() {

  const sheet = app.sheet.active;    // custom getter: returns `Sheeet`
  let obj = sheet;

  while (obj) {

    const keys = Reflect.ownKeys(obj);
    const n = keys.length;
    const k = 3;            // # of sliced items

    log(
      `object: ${obj}` + 
      `, type: ${typeName(obj)}` + 
      `, keys: (${n} items) [${keys.slice(0, k)}${n > k ? ' ...' : ''}]`
    );

    log(keys);              // show all own keys (enum + non-enum + symbol)
    obj = obj.__proto__;    // === Object.getPrototypeOf(obj)
  }
}

結果 ( prototype chain )

object       type       keys
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheet       object    (141 items) [toString,getFilter,clear ...]
[Object]*   object    ( 12 items) [constructor,__defineGetter__,__defineSetter__ ...]
------------------------------------------------------------------
* last object in the prototype chain === Object.prototype ⭐️
