Is there any kind of hash code function in JavaScript?

Question

Basically, I\'m trying to create an object of unique objects, a set. I had the brilliant idea of just using a JavaScript object with objects for the property names. Such as,

Answer 1

Just use hidden secret property with the defineProperty enumerable: false

It work very fast:

• The first read uniqueId: 1,257,500 ops/s
• All others: 309,226,485 ops/s

var nextObjectId = 1
function getNextObjectId() {
    return nextObjectId++
}

var UNIQUE_ID_PROPERTY_NAME = '458d576952bc489ab45e98ac7f296fd9'
function getObjectUniqueId(object) {
    if (object == null) {
        return null
    }

    var id = object[UNIQUE_ID_PROPERTY_NAME]

    if (id != null) {
        return id
    }

    if (Object.isFrozen(object)) {
        return null
    }

    var uniqueId = getNextObjectId()
    Object.defineProperty(object, UNIQUE_ID_PROPERTY_NAME, {
        enumerable: false,
        configurable: false,
        writable: false,
        value: uniqueId,
    })

    return uniqueId
}
