JavaScript Reflect.get() method in JavaScript is used to allow users to get the property from an object as a function. This method always returns the value of the property.

Syntax:

Reflect.get(target, propertyKey, receiver) 

Parameters: This method accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • target: This parameter is used to get the property and it is the target object.
  • propertyKey: This parameter is used to get the name of the key.
  • receiver: It is an optional parameter and it is the value of this provided for the call to object if a getter is encountered.

Return value: This method always returns the value of the property.

Exceptions: A TypeError is an exception given as the result when the target is not an Object.
