Is There Object.watch For All Properties / A Shim For __nosuchmethod__ Available?

I would like to extend localStorage by executing some code each time a setting is fetched/stored. I could define a getter/setter for all existing properties of localStorage, but th

Solution 1:

Nope, at least, not for Chrome. __noSuchMethod__ only works for functions, anyway.

Proxy support is under discussion for the next version of ECMAScript (Harmony), and even already implemented in SpiderMonkey. Until then, you're out of luck, I'm afraid.

— there was a request to implement __noSuchMethod__ in V8 but it was refused. Requests to implement Proxy haven't been any more successful: 633 was merged as duplicate, and the Chromium team doesn't care much about implementing Proxy support.

Solution 2:

Yeah, I want that too. So do many, many other people. Isn't going to happen. Ever. Chrome (V8) follows webkit in terms of its JS API. __noSuchMethod__ is a non-standard event created by Mozilla and has been officially rejected from ECMAScript (JavaScript).

In other words, it will never exist :'(

(or if it does, it will be after much arguing and it won't be any time soon)
