Reflect.has determines if a property exists for a given target object. The call enumerates all properties, not only own properties.

Node.js
let target = class Account {

let myAccount = Reflect.construct(
    target,
    args );
console.log(Reflect.has( myAccount, 'name' ));
console.log(Reflect.has( myAccount, 'contact' ));

Reflect.ownKeys returns all own properties of a target in an array.

Node.js
console.log(Reflect.ownKeys( myAccount ));

Reflect.get gets a property based on a key. As an optional parameter, the this context can be specified.

Node.js
console.log(Reflect.get( myAccount, 'name' ));
//> "Zsolt"
console.log(Reflect.get( myAccount, 'contact' ));
//> "Zsolt - 555-1269"

Getting the name property of myAccount is straightforward. In the second example, getting the contact property requires the execution ...
