Limiting Object.Prototype Possible?

[Brandon Jonson]

I've added custom code that extends Object to include a few other functions. Of course anybody could now go in and overwrite those or add their own functions simply by doing Object.Prototype.xxx = xxx. Is there an official way of locking that ability in V8 so at least the functions added could not be overwritten?

Thanks!

In javascript you can use property descriptors to prevent overwriting. I'd imagine you could get v8 to set them on your functions

Hey Spencer,

Thanks for responding to this! This worked like a charm. Looks like I need to do a better job at reading the docs. 

This bare minimum worked with some caveats...

Object.defineProperty(Object.Prototype, 'nameOfFunction', {

  enumerable: false,

  configurable: false,

  writable: false,

  value: function() {

    //do work, return

    return "hello world";

  }

});
