reading object properties

[Dormilich]

is there a simple and elegant way to get only the properties and not the methods of a Javascript object?

sample

Object.prototype.aMethod = function() { … }
var sample = { name: "value" };

if I use for … in here, I will also get aMethod(), which I have to filter off in the loop…

you could use a:

typeof prop != 'function'

check for that purpose ... i'm not aware of another possibility ...

kind regards

... i'm not aware of another possibility ...

what a pity, but I guess it can’t be helped.

:) ... the typeof check looks a bit ugly ... but we always use it for the purpose you mentioned ... and for a second look ... it looks better then, since it just works :)

I too couldn’t think of a better filter…

typeof prop != 'function'

found another similar one

prop instanceof Function

I’ve also seen

prop == Function
