Reflect.defineProperty()

The Reflect.defineProperty() static method is like Object.defineProperty() but returns a Boolean.

Reflect.defineProperty() provides the reflective semantic of defining an own property on an object. At the very low level, defining a property returns a boolean (as is the case with the proxy handler). Object.defineProperty() provides nearly the same semantic, but it throws a TypeError if the status is false (the operation was unsuccessful), while Reflect.defineProperty() directly returns the status.

Many built-in operations would also define own properties on objects. The most significant difference between defining properties and setting them is that setters aren’t invoked. For example, class fields directly define properties on the instance without invoking setters.

Syntax example: Reflect.defineProperty(target, propertyKey, attributes)
