Function iteratePrototypeChain

Iterate the prototype chain of a given object.

Remarks

This function uses the Reflect.getPrototypeOf method to traverse the prototype chain. It also uses the isPrototype and isConstructor helper functions to determine whether the given object is a prototype or a constructor function.

Throws

If the provided object is not an object or a function, a TypeError will be thrown.

Example

class A {}
class B extends A {}
class C extends B {}
const instance = new C()
iteratePrototypeChain(C)
//=> [ C, B, A, Function.prototype, Object.prototype]
iteratePrototypeChain(C.prototype)
//=> [C.prototype, B.prototype, A.prototype, Object.prototype]
iteratePrototypeChain(instance)
//=> [instance, C.prototype, B.prototype, A.prototype, Object.prototype]
