{{jsxref("Reflect.apply()")}} : Calls a target function with arguments as specified by the argumentsList parameter. See also {{jsxref("Function.prototype.apply()")}}. {{jsxref("Reflect.construct()")}} : The new operator as a function. Equivalent to calling new target(...argumentsList). Also provides the option to specify a different prototype. {{jsxref("Reflect.defineProperty()")}} : Similar to {{jsxref("Object.defineProperty()")}}. Returns a boolean that is true if the property was successfully defined. {{jsxref("Reflect.deleteProperty()")}} : The delete operator as a function. Equivalent to calling delete target[propertyKey]. {{jsxref("Reflect.get()")}} : Returns the value of the property. Works like getting a property from an object (target[propertyKey]) as a function. {{jsxref("Reflect.getOwnPropertyDescriptor()")}} : Similar to {{jsxref("Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor()")}}. Returns a property descriptor of the given property if it exists on the object, {{jsxref("undefined")}} otherwise. {{jsxref("Reflect.getPrototypeOf()")}} : Same as {{jsxref("Object.getPrototypeOf()")}}. {{jsxref("Reflect.has()")}} : Returns a boolean indicating whether the target has the property. Either as own or inherited. Works like the in operator as a function. {{jsxref("Reflect.isExtensible()")}} : Same as {{jsxref("Object.isExtensible()")}}. Returns a boolean that is true if the target is extensible. {{jsxref("Reflect.ownKeys()")}} : Returns an array of the target object's own (not inherited) property keys. {{jsxref("Reflect.preventExtensions()")}} : Similar to {{jsxref("Object.preventExtensions()")}}. Returns a boolean that is true if the update was successful. {{jsxref("Reflect.set()")}} : A function that assigns values to properties. Returns a boolean that is true if the update was successful. {{jsxref("Reflect.setPrototypeOf()")}} : A function that sets the prototype of an object. Returns a boolean that is true if the update was successful.
