Is it possible to automatically stringify in Javascript?

I know I can create a toString() function on an object, so that every time it's printed or treated like a string it will first stringify the object with that function.
Is it possible to do that directly so I can use String object functions on the object?
var SomeObject = function(a, b){
this.a = a;
this.b = b
}
SomeObject.prototype.toString = function(){
return [ this.a, this.b ].join(' ')
}
var objInstance = new SomeObject('this', 'that');
console.log(objInstance + '') // this that
console.log(("" + objInstance).split('')) // [ 't', 'h', 'i', 's', ' ', 't', 'h', 'a', 't' ]
console.log(objInstance.split()) // error
Is it possible to do so that the object "behaves" like a string when a String function is called on it?
In other words, I'd like objInstance.split() to have the same result as ("" + objInstance).split(''), and also objInstance.length or objInstance.match(/something/) etc. etc.

One option would be to return a Proxy that checks whether the property exists on String.prototype, and if it does, calls that property with the string that represents the object:
var SomeObject = function(a, b) {
this.a = a;
this.b = b
return new Proxy(this, {
get: (_, prop) => {
if (this[prop] !== undefined) {
return this[prop];
}
if (String.prototype[prop]) {
return String.prototype[prop].bind(this.a + ' ' + this.b);
}
}
});
}
var objInstance = new SomeObject('this', 'that');
console.log(objInstance.split());
console.log(objInstance.trim());
console.log(objInstance.includes('this'));
console.log(objInstance.includes('somethingelse'));answered 3 hours ago

I would recommend to declare the handler object outside of the constructor function, for the same reason that you should define methods on the prototype. Then you'd also use thetargetargument instead of closing overthis.

You can let your objects inherit from String so that all string methods become available:
class SomeObject extends String {
constructor(a, b) {
super(a + " " + b);
this.a = a;
this.b = b;
}
}
var obj = new SomeObject('this', 'that');
console.log(obj.split(""));No need to use complicated Proxy solutions :-)
All the String.prototype methods (except for .toString, .valueOf and [Symbol.iterator]) are "intentionally generic; [they do] not require that its this value be a String object. Therefore, [they] can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method." You can call them on any value, they will coerce it to a string (using .toString() or .valueOf as usual).
You don't even need to use ES6 class extends to inherit from builtins, it works in ES5 as well:
function SomeObject(a, b) {
this.a = a;
this.b = b;
}
SomeObject.prototype = Object.create(String.prototype);
SomeObject.prototype.constructor = SomeObject;
SomeObject.prototype.toString = function() {
return this.a + " " + this.b;
};
var obj = new SomeObject('this', 'that');

If I understand correctly then you can use spread syntax to achieve this
let a = 'this'; let b = 'that';
const merged = [...a, ...b];

@simone to handle all the functions of an object, you can use certainperformance's solution.

I was wondering about performance in using Proxy. Same as in setting the prototype in a deleted solution. But both look quite interesting...

One option to extend the SomeObject too, something like this.
var SomeObject = function(a, b){
this.a = a;
this.b = b
}
SomeObject.prototype.toString = function(){
return [ this.a, this.b ].join(' ')
}
SomeObject.prototype.split = function(){
return this.toString().split('');
}
var objInstance = new SomeObject('this', 'that');
console.log(objInstance + '') // this that
//console.log(("" + objInstance).split('')) // [ 't', 'h', 'i', 's', ' ', 't', 'h', 'a', 't' ]
console.log(objInstance.split()) answered 3 hours ago

Interesting thought. I was thinking about doing this programmatically by doing it for all functions - but is there a way to lost all functions of an object?

@simonelost all functions of an objectyou mean? Do it only if you have custom requirements, doesn't makes sense if you do it for all the functions.

lost all functions of an object you mean? Do it only if you have custom requirements, doesn't makes sense if you do it for all the functions.– Just code

If I understand correctly then you can use spread syntax to achieve this
let a = 'this'; let b = 'that';
const merged = [...a, ...b];
console.log({merged});answered 3 hours ago
