Why doesn't console.log () show the inherited properties of the Object.create?

Question

I start a hang, trying to use Object.defineProperty() for the base object. I want to inherit the properties of this object using Object.create() , and then define more properties in the derived object (which can be inherited from there). I should note that I am aiming for this on node.js.

Here is an example:

 var Base = {}; Object.defineProperty(Base, 'prop1', { enumerable:true, get:function(){ return 'prop1 value';} }); Object.defineProperty(Base, 'prop2', { enumerable:true, value : 'prop 2 value' }); Object.defineProperty(Base, 'create', { value:function(){ return Object.create(Base); } }); console.log(Base); var derived = Base.create(); Object.defineProperty(derived, 'prop3', { enumerable:true, value:'prop 3 value' }); console.log(derived); 

Which outputs the following:

 { prop1: [Getter], prop2: 'prop 2 value' } { prop3: 'prop 3 value' } 

I thought console.log () would list the inherited properties, as well as the prop3 property that I defined on the derived object. It would seem that he is not looking for a hierarchy of prototypes for properties defined in this way. It is right?

I looked at overriding the toString() method for my object, but console.log () does not seem to call this.

• How can I get all registered properties without having to list them?
• Is this a valid way to implement inheritance?

EDIT:

• Is there any other function in the node.js' libraries that would do the job and register the inherited properties?

Answer 1

Firebug writes inherited properties:

while Chrome provides a tree view that includes inherited properties:

Answer 2

you can use console.dir() where available

 console.dir(derived) 

and it will show the inherited properties of your object in the __proto__ object

Edit: doesn't seem to display on node though
