It is possible to create getters and setters in javascript as shown by

Object.defineProperty
__define***__

In all those instances, the name of the property is known.

Is it possible create a generic one.

By this I mean, I have a getter and or setter and it is called irrespective of the property name.

Is this possible?
If so, how?

regards.

I did find these after posting the question. Looks like it is currently not possible as the first answer stated.

There is a non standard function __noSuchMethod__() which is executed when a non existing property is invoked as a function.

But I don’t think there is exactly what you are looking for in JavaScript (yet).
