Object.create()

The Object.create() method creates a new object, using an existing object as the prototype of the newly created object.

Syntax

Object.create(proto)
Object.create(proto, propertiesObject)

Parameters

• proto
  • : The object which should be the prototype of the newly-created object.
• propertiesObject optional
  • : If specified and not undefined, an object whose enumerable own properties specify property descriptors to be added to the newly-created object, with the corresponding property names. These properties correspond to the second argument of Object.defineProperties().

Return value

A new object with the specified prototype object and properties.

Exceptions

• TypeError
  • : Thrown if proto is neither null nor an Object.
