The Object.getOwnPropertyNames() method returns an array of all properties (including non-enumerable properties except for those which use Symbol) found directly in a given object.

Syntax

Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj)

Parameters

obj - The object whose enumerable and non-enumerable properties are to be returned.

Return value

An array of strings that corresponds to the properties found directly in the given object.

Examples

Example 1 - Retrieve all properties of the User object

function User(firstName, lastName, emailId, age){ this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.emailId = emailId; this.age = age; } console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(new User()));

Output:

["firstName", "lastName", "emailId", "age"]

Example 2 - Iterate and print User object properties and values

function User(firstName, lastName, emailId, age){ this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.emailId = emailId; this.age = age; } var user = new User("Ramesh", "Fadatare", "ramesh@gmail.com", 29); console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(user)); // Logging property names and values using Array.forEach Object.getOwnPropertyNames(user).forEach( function (val, idx, array) { console.log(val + ' -> ' + user[val]); } )

Output:

["firstName", "lastName", "emailId", "age"] firstName -> Ramesh lastName -> Fadatare emailId -> ramesh@gmail.com age -> 29
