Why some object methods are invisible in a console log

Question

I am using a plugin to integrate leaflet into an AngularJS project. As I wanted to check if the API was the same as the standard leaflet, I logged into the Chrome console the leaflet object provided by dependency injection; several methods were missing.

Surprisingly enough, when I tried to call those methods on that object anyway, they did work.

How can this be ? What makes some properties visible or not in the console ?

I did check the prototype which was empty. What I didnt check was __proto__ which actually contains the method. — Rayjax, Nov 08 '15 at 18:00

The answer was in the

__proto__

property of the object

I had checked .prototype but not this one
