// although you can just grab a property directly like this 
Car1.colour
// or modify it like this
Car1.colour = "red"

// on the other hand, getter methods look like this
get colour() { // doesn't need a parameter
  return this.colour // optionally attach values or operations on to it
}
// and setter methods look like this
set colour(newColour) {
 this.colour = newColour 
}
//Benifits of getters and setters

// implement logic that uses private data in the class
// eg. I might want to blend it with the current car colour

// Encapsulation: allows you to control how the data is accessed or modified.
// especially if you are implementing other logic

// Readability: code is much clearer as it is now in a method

// Compatibility: Some APIs or libraries expect you to use getters/setters

    language: "",
    //Your getter, used for getting the full name
    get fullName() {

  console.log(person.fullName);//logs "Md Raquib" (using Getter)

what is getter and setter in javascript

Comment

// 1) In JavaScript, getter methods are used to access the properties of an object.
// we use get keyword to define a getter method to get or access the property value
const student = {
    // data property
    firstName: 'Chetan',
 
    // accessor property(getter)
    get getName() {
        return this.firstName;
    }
};

// accessing data property
console.log(student.firstName); // Chetan

// accessing getter methods or accessing the value as a property
console.log(student.getName); // Chetan

// trying to access as a method
console.log(student.getName()); // error

// In the above program, a getter method getName() is created to access the property of an object.
// Note: To create a getter method, the get keyword is used.

// 2) In JavaScript, setter methods are used to change the values of an object.
// we use set keyword to define a setter method to set the property value

const student = {
    firstName: 'Chetan',
    
    //accessor property(setter)
    set changeName(newName) {
        this.firstName = newName;
    }
};

console.log(student.firstName); // Chetan

// change(set) object property using a setter
student.changeName = 'Jeny';

console.log(student.firstName); // Jeny
// In the above example, the setter method is used to change the value of an object.
// Note: To create a setter method, the set keyword is used.

Getters and Setters

Comment

Get and set

In order to allow controlled access to properties from outside the class, getter and setter methods are used.

A getter method allows reading a property’s value.

A setter method allows modifying a property’s value.

It is a common convention to write the name of the corresponding member fields with the get or set command.

Example

Let’s write get and set methods for __username in our User class.

class User:
    def __init__(self, username=None):  # defining initializer
        self.__username = username

    def setUsername(self, x):
        self.__username = x

    def getUsername(self):
        return (self.__username)


Steve = User('steve1')
print('Before setting:', Steve.getUsername())
Steve.setUsername('steve2')
print('After setting:', Steve.getUsername())

js why to use getters and setters

Comment

1) Syntax reasons. It’s easier and faster to read code 
created with accessor functions
2) Encapsulation. I can create safer code with accessor functions.
