To limit the inheritance level, provide a `level` argument. 53 54 ```javascript 55 var inherit = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherit' ); 56 57 function Bar() { 58 return this; 59 } 60 61 Bar.prototype.boop = 'beep'; 62 63 function Foo() { 64 Bar.call( this ); 65 this.a = 'b'; 66 return this; 67 } 68 69 inherit( Foo, Bar ); 70 Foo.prototype.beep = 'boop'; 71 72 var f = new Foo(); 73 var desc = inheritedPropertyDescriptors( f, 1 ); 74 // returns { 'beep': {...}, ... } 75 ``` 76 77 </section> 78 79 <!-- /.usage --> 80 81 <section class="notes"> 82 83 ## Notes 84 85 - In contrast to the built-in `Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptors()`, if provided `null` or `undefined`, the function returns an empty `object`, rather than throwing an error. 86 87 </section> 88 89 <!-- /.notes --> 90 91 <section class="examples"> 92 93 ## Examples 94 95 <!-- eslint-disable id-length --> 96 97 <!-- eslint no-undef: "error" --> 98 99 ```javascript 100 var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' ); 101 var inheritedPropertyDescriptors = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-property-descriptors' ); 102 103 function Foo() { 104 this.beep = 'boop'; 105 this.a = { 106 'b': 'c' 107 }; 108 defineProperty( this, 'baz', { 109 'value': 'qux', 110 'configurable': true, 111 'writable': true, 112 'enumerable': false 113 }); 114 return this; 115 } 116 117 Foo.prototype.foo = [ 'bar' ]; 118 119 var obj = new Foo(); 120 var desc = inheritedPropertyDescriptors( obj ); 121 122 console.log( desc ); 123 // => { 'foo': {...}, ... } 124 ``` 125 126 </section> 127 128 <!-- /.examples --> 129 130 <section class="links"> 131 132 [@stdlib/utils/property-descriptors]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@stdlib/utils/tree/main/property-descriptors 133 134 </section> 135 136 <!-- /.links -->
