Working with the Proxy API

The ES6 Proxy API provides the proxy constructor to create proxies. The proxy constructor takes two arguments, which are:

• Target: This is the object that will be wrapped by the proxy
• Handler: This is an object that contains the traps for the target object

A trap can be defined for every possible operation on the target object. If a trap is not defined, then the default action takes place on the target. Here is a code example that shows how to create a proxy, and does various operations on the target object. In this example, we have not defined any traps:

const target = {  age: 12 }; 
const handler = {}; 
const proxy = new Proxy(target, handler); 
proxy.name = "Eden"; 
console.log(target.name); 
console.log(proxy.name); 
console.log(target.age); 
console.log(proxy.age);

This outputs the following:

Eden
Eden
12
12

Here, we can see that the age property of the target object can be accessed via the proxy object. When we added the name property to the proxy object, it was...
