# Freeze An Object, Sorta
|
||||
|
||||
You can freeze a JavaScript object using `Object.freeze` which will help
|
||||
enforce some immutability practices. Don't be fooled though, you can still
|
||||
modify arrays and objects in the frozen object.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is what the docs have to say:
|
||||
|
||||
> The Object.freeze() method freezes an object: that is, prevents new
|
||||
> properties from being added to it; prevents existing properties from being
|
||||
> removed; and prevents existing properties, or their enumerability,
|
||||
> configurability, or writability, from being changed, it also prevents the
|
||||
> prototype from being changed.
|
||||
|
||||
And here is `Object.freeze` in action:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
> const things = {one: "two", hello: "world", cats: ["Von Neumann", "Sosa"]}
|
||||
undefined
|
||||
> Object.freeze(things)
|
||||
{one: "two", hello: "world", cats: Array(2)}
|
||||
|
||||
> things.one = "three"
|
||||
"three"
|
||||
> things.dogs = []
|
||||
[]
|
||||
> delete things.hello
|
||||
false
|
||||
|
||||
> things
|
||||
{one: "two", hello: "world", cats: Array(2)}
|
||||
|
||||
> things.cats.push("Sneaky")
|
||||
3
|
||||
|
||||
> things
|
||||
{one: "two", hello: "world", cats: Array(3)}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See the [MDN
|
||||
Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/freeze)
|
||||
for more details.
