The .getOwnPropertyNames() method returns all properties that are present in a given object except for those symbol-based non-enumerable properties.

Example 2

In this example, the obj object has both enumerable and non-enumerable properties. Object.getOwnPropertyNames() includes both types of properties in the resulting array:

const obj = Object.create(
  {},
  {
    nonEnumerableProp: {
      value: 'I am non-enumerable',
      enumerable: false,
    },
    enumerableProp: {
      value: 'I am enumerable',
      enumerable: true,
    },
  }
);

const propertyNames = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj);
console.log(propertyNames);
