Infinite Method Object

Problem Statement

The task is to construct a function that when executed returns an object with a unique behavior termed as an infinite-method object. This object is distinctive because it possesses the capability to identify any method called upon it, regardless of whether the method is predefined. Furthermore, it should return the name of the method invoked. For instance, if a method named abc123() is called on this object, the output should be "abc123".

Examples

Example 1

Input:

method = "abc123"

Output:

"abc123"

Explanation:

const obj = createInfiniteObject();
obj['abc123'](); // "abc123"
The returned string should always match the method name.

Example 2

Input:

method = ".-qw73n|^2It"

Output:

".-qw73n|^2It"

Explanation:

The returned string should always match the method name.

Constraints

• 0 <= method.length <= 1000

Approach and Intuition

1. To create this "infinite-method object," we will utilize the dynamic nature of objects in certain programming languages that allow properties and methods to be defined at runtime.
2. The solution involves creating a proxy wrapper around an object. The proxy will intercept all method calls to the object, identify the method names, and then dynamically create and return these method names.
3. Given the constraints that method.length, i.e., the name of the method being dynamically called on our object, can range from 0 to 1000 characters, we make sure to abstain from any hardcoded limits or predefined methods within our object's structure.

• Example 1

  • Input: method = "abc123"
  • Output: "abc123"
  • Explanation: When the method named "abc123" is called on our infinite-method object, the proxy recognizes this name and dynamically returns the string "abc123".

• Example 2

  • Input: method = ".-qw73n|^2It"
  • Output: ".-qw73n|^2It"
  • Explanation: Similar to the first example, irrespective of the nature of characters in the method name, the infinite-method object accurately returns the name as the output.

Solutions

function generateUnboundedObject() {
  return new Proxy({}, {
    get: function(proxyTarget, property) {
      return function() {
        return String(property);
      };
    }
  });
}
