I don't really know how to explain this but I'll show you code and tell you what I'd like to achieve.
Let's say I make a quick object:
var test = {};
And then I set a property to it: (I insist on the syntax, it mustn't use any function as the setter)
test.hello = 'world';
Pretty simple, eh? Now I'd like to add a function to that object that would get called everytime a new property gets set. Like this:
var test = {
newPropertyHasBeenSet: function(name){
console.log(name + 'has been set.');
}
};
test.hello = 'world';
// Now newPropertyHasBeenSet gets called with 'hello' as an argument.
// hello has been set.
I don't know if it's possible, but that would be quite amazing. Anyone has an idea of how to achieve so?
EDIT: I'd like also to be able to do the same for property get (so test.hello would call get('hello') for example).
EDIT2: This is for server-side javascript using node.js.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
