JavaScript: Get an array of function property names from own enumerable properties of an object

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-48 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to get an array of function property names from the own (and optionally inherited) enumerable properties of an object.

• Use Object.keys(obj) to iterate over the object's own properties.
• If inherited is true, use Object.getPrototypeOf(obj) to also get the object's inherited properties.
• Use Array.prototype.filter() to keep only those properties that are functions.
• Omit the second argument, inherited, to not include inherited properties by default.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const functions = (obj, inherited = false) =>
  (inherited
    ? [...Object.keys(obj), ...Object.keys(Object.getPrototypeOf(obj))]
    : Object.keys(obj)
  ).filter(key => typeof obj[key] === 'function');
function Foo() {
  this.a = () => 1;
  this.b = () => 2;
}
Foo.prototype.c = () => 3;
console.log(functions(new Foo()));
console.log(functions(new Foo(), true));

Sample Output:

["a","b"]
["a","b","c"]
