In this lesson we look at How Privacy Works in JavaScript, Codecademy Learn JavaScript Object Privacy, Object Property Privacy. This lesson is an introduction to Getter and Setter methods in JavaScript. This lesson begins to explain that there might be some properties we don't want to be mutable. That is where getters and setters come in. We will learn more about how to use getters and setters to get property values and set property values. We learn that since JavaScript does not have privacy built-in for objects, we need to follow naming conventions that signal to other developers how they should interact with certain properties. Learning about how privacy works in JavaScript is of high importance as you travel into more advanced JavaScript. Learning how to utilize getter and setter methods will help you write clean and safer code. Make sure to practice the next few lessons until they are embedded into your DNA!
