# inheritedWritablePropertyNames > Return an array of an object's inherited writable property names.
## Usage ```javascript var inheritedWritablePropertyNames = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-writable-property-names' ); ``` #### inheritedWritablePropertyNames( obj\[, level] ) Returns an `array` of an object's inherited writable property names. ```javascript var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' ); function Foo() { this.a = 'b'; return this; } defineProperty( Foo.prototype, 'beep', { 'configurable': false, 'enumerable': false, 'writable': true, 'value': 'boop' }); var f = new Foo(); var keys = inheritedWritablePropertyNames( f ); // e.g., returns [ 'beep', ... ] ``` By default, the function walks an object's entire prototype chain. To limit the inheritance level, provide a `level` argument. ```javascript var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' ); var inherit = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherit' ); function Bar() { return this; } defineProperty( Bar.prototype, 'boop', { 'configurable': false, 'enumerable': false, 'writable': true, 'value': 'beep' }); function Foo() { Bar.call( this ); this.a = 'b'; return this; } inherit( Foo, Bar ); defineProperty( Foo.prototype, 'beep', { 'configurable': false, 'enumerable': false, 'writable': true, 'value': 'boop' }); var f = new Foo(); var keys = inheritedWritablePropertyNames( f, 1 ); // e.g., returns [ 'beep', ... ] ```
## Notes - Property order is not guaranteed, as `object` property enumeration is not specified according to the [ECMAScript specification][ecma-262-for-in]. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an `object`'s properties, thus allowing for deterministic extraction.
## Examples ```javascript var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' ); var inheritedWritablePropertyNames = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-writable-property-names' ); function Foo() { this.a = { 'b': 'c' }; defineProperty( this, 'baz', { 'configurable': true, 'enumerable': true, 'writable': false, 'value': 'qux' }); return this; } Foo.prototype.foo = [ 'bar' ]; defineProperty( Foo.prototype, 'bip', { 'configurable': true, 'enumerable': true, 'writable': false, 'value': 'bop' }); var obj = new Foo(); var keys = inheritedWritablePropertyNames( obj ); console.log( keys ); // e.g., => [ 'foo', ... ] ```
