propertyIsEnumerable Method (Object) (JavaScript)

Determines whether a specified property is enumerable.

Syntax

object. propertyIsEnumerable(proName)  

Parameters

object
Required. Instance of an object.

proName
Required. String value of a property name.

Remarks

The propertyIsEnumerable method returns true if proName exists in object and can be enumerated using a For loop. The propertyIsEnumerable method returns false if object does not have a property of the specified name or if the specified property is not enumerable. Typically, predefined properties are not enumerable, but user-defined properties are always enumerable.

The propertyIsEnumerable method does not consider objects in the prototype chain.

Example

var a = new Array("apple", "banana", "cactus");  
document.write(a.propertyIsEnumerable(1));  

// Output: true
