JavaScript Proxy revocable() Method

The Proxy.revocable() method is a built-in method in JavaScript that creates a revocable Proxy object. This method returns an object that contains two properties: proxy and revoke.

The proxy property is a Proxy object, which is used to intercept and handle operations on another object. The revoke property is a function that can be called to revoke the Proxy, which means that any further operation on the proxy object will throw a TypeError.

Here's an example of how to use the Proxy.revocable() method:

Syntax:

Proxy.revocable(tar, hand)

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters.

• tar: It is the object on which we want the proxy to be applied.
• hand: This object contains the logic function which defines how the proxy will operate on the target object.

Return Value: It returns a plain JavaScript object with two values where the first value is the proxy object and the second object is the revoke function to detach the proxy.

Example 1: This example will create a Proxy object which we can revoke.

Output: We get an error if we try to access the Proxy object after it has been revoked
