Tests:

  • Read from data property

     
    var value = data.property;

  • Write to data property

     
    data.property = true;

  • Read from accessor method

     
    var value = method.getProperty();

  • Write to mutator method

     
    method.setProperty(true);

  • Read from object literal property

     
    var value = objectLiteralAccessor.property;

  • Write to object literal property

     
    objectLiteralAccessor.property = true;

  • Read from object literal property on prototype

     
    var value = prototypeAccessor.property;

  • Write to object literal property on prototype

     
    prototypeAccessor.property = true;
