Javascript proxies: node-proxy, Harmony, mixed objects with magic getters and setters... in Coffeescript?

Question

I would like to have a proxied object with methods and private variables attached to it.

That is to say, all normal object properties:

foo = {}
foo.bar = "baz"
foo.boo = "hoo"

with some prototypes:

foo.setPrivateThings = function(value){ if (value) private = value; return private; }

where enumeration skips private variables/functions:

console.log(foo); // { bar: "baz", boo: "hoo" }

and get/set will be run through a magic getter/setter:

foo.doesntexist = "..." = function(key){ console.log "Setting "+key; return new Date(); }

So far I have this hokey Coffeescript using node-proxy. Any better answers?

class Data
    constructor: (obj) ->
        @proxy = require "node-proxy"

        p = @proxy.create
            has: (name) ->
                name of obj
            hasOwn: (name) ->
                ({}).hasOwnProperty.call obj, name
            get: (receiver, name) ->                
                p = obj.transform()[name]
                if typeof p != 'undefined' && p != '__lookupGetter__' && p != '__lookupSetter__'
                    return p()
                # We could do magic getting here
                obj[name]
            set: (receiver, name, val) ->
                # We could do magic setting here
                obj[name] = val
                true
            enumerate: ->
                result = []
                for name of obj
                    result.push name if typeof obj[name] != 'function'
                result
            keys: ->
                Object.keys obj
        , obj

        _transform = {}
        p.transform = (_t) ->
            _transform = _t if _t
            return _transform

        return p


d = new Data
    name: "Bill"
    colors: ["blue", "red"]

d.transform
    timer: ->
        return new Date()

console.log d.name, d.colors, d.timer

console.log d

produces

Bill [ 'blue', 'red' ] Sat, 15 Oct 2011 06:39:27 GMT
{ name: 'Bill', colors: [ 'blue', 'red' ] }

Answer 1

where enumeration skips private variables/functions:

Object.defineProperty(foo, "name", {
  get: function () { "return magic"; },
  set: function (value) { setMagic(value); },
  writable: true,
  configurable: true
  enumerable: false
});

Proxies are overkill, just define non-enumerable properties
