<h1 id="es6features">Ecmascript E6 features</h1>
<p>This section describes the small set of features Duktape borrows from the
<a href="https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html">current ES6 draft</a>.
These features are not fully compliant; the intent is to minimize custom features
and to align with the coming ES6 specification.</p>
<a href="https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html">current ES6 draft</a>
("Version: Rev 23, April 5, 2014 Draft"). These features are not fully compliant;
the intent is to minimize custom features and to align with the coming ES6 specification.</p>
<h2 id="es6-proto">Object.setPrototypeOf and Object.prototype.__proto__</h2>
<p><a href="https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-object.setprototypeof">Object.setPrototypeOf</a>
allows user to set the internal prototype of an object which is not supported in
Ecmascript E5. The Ecmascript E6 draft also provides
<a href="https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-object.prototype.__proto__">Object.prototype.__proto__</a>
which is an accessor property (setter/getter) which provides the same functionality
<a href="https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-object.prototype.__proto__">Object.prototype.__proto__</a>,
an accessor property (setter/getter) which provides the same functionality
but is compatible with existing code base which has relied on a non-standard
<code>__proto__</code> property for a while. Duktape does not support the
<a href="https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-__proto___-property-names-in-object-initializers">__proto__ property name in an object initializer</a>.</p>
<p>These custom features can be disabled with feature options.</p>
<p>These custom features can be disabled with the feature options
<code>DUK_OPT_NO_OBJECT_ES6_SETPROTOTYPEOF</code> and
<code>DUK_OPT_NO_OBJECT_ES6_PROTO_PROPERTY</code>.</p>
<h2 id="es6-proxy">Proxy object (subset)</h2>
<p>FIXME.</p>
<p>The Ecmascript E6 <code>Proxy</code> object allows property virtualization
and fine-grained access control for accessing an underlying plain object.
Duktape implements a strict subset of the <code>Proxy</code> object from the
ES6 draft (Rev 23).</p>
<p>Limitations include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Limited to <code>get</code>, <code>set</code>, <code>deleteProperty</code>
handler methods; ES6 draft allows a lot more, e.g. to interact with
properties being called or constructed, enumeration, etc. This causes
odd behavior if you enumerate a proxy object, call
<code>Object.defineProperty()</code> with the proxy object as an argument,
etc.</li>
<li>Proxy revocation feature of ES6 draft is not supported.</li>
<li>The target and handler objects given to <code>new Proxy()</code> cannot
be proxy objects themselves. ES6 poses no such limitation, but Duktape
enforces it to simplify the internal implementation.</li>
<li>As ES6 is still in a draft phase so the subset implemented by Duktape
may not be forwards compatible.</li>
</ul>
<p>This custom feature can be disabled with the feature option
<code>DUK_OPT_NO_ES6_PROXY</code>.</p>
