JavaScript Object isSealed() Method

JavaScript object.isSealed() method is used to determine if an object is sealed or not. An object is sealed if all of the below-mentioned conditions hold true :

• If it is not extensible.
• If all of its properties are non-configurable.
• If it is not removable (but not necessarily non-writable).

Object.isSealed() takes the object as an argument that has to be checked and returns a boolean representing whether the object is sealed or not. 

Syntax:

Object.isSealed(obj)

Parameters:

• obj: It is the object which has to be checked. 

Return Value: Object.isSealed() returns a boolean representing whether the object is sealed or not.

Examples of the above function are provided below. 

Example 1: In the above example the object has not been sealed using the Object.seal() method, therefore, it returns false when it is checked using Object.isSealed() method.

Javascript

// creating an object constructor
// and assigning values to it
const object = {
    property: 'hi geeksforgeeks'
};

// checking whether the object
// is sealed or not
console.log(Object.isSealed(object));

Output:

false

Example 2: In the above example the object has been sealed using the Object.seal() method, therefore, it returns true when it is checked using Object.isSealed() method.

Javascript

// creating an object constructor
// and assigning values to it
const object = {
    property: 'hi geeksforgeeks'
};

// Using seal() method to seal the object
Object.seal(object);

// checking whether the
// object is frozen or not
console.log(Object.isSealed(object));

Output:

true

Applications:
