# Move Property > Move a property from one object to another object.
## Usage ```javascript var moveProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/move-property' ); ``` #### moveProperty( source, prop, target ) Moves a property from one `object` to another `object`. ```javascript var obj1 = { 'a': 'b' }; var obj2 = {}; var bool = moveProperty( obj1, 'a', obj2 ); // returns true ``` If the operation is successful, the function returns `true`; otherwise, `false`. ```javascript var obj1 = { 'a': 'b' }; var obj2 = {}; var bool = moveProperty( obj1, 'c', obj2 ); // returns false ```
## Notes - A transfer is **shallow**. ```javascript var arr = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; var obj1 = { 'a': arr }; var obj2 = {}; var bool = moveProperty( obj1, 'a', obj2 ); console.log( obj2.a === arr ); // => true ``` - The property is **deleted** from the _source_ `object`. - The property's descriptor **is** preserved during transfer. - If a _source_ property is **not** `configurable`, the function throws an `Error`, as the property **cannot** be deleted from the _source_ `object`.
## Examples ```javascript var moveProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/move-property' ); var obj1 = { 'beep': 'boop' }; var obj2 = { 'foo': 'bar' }; var bool = moveProperty( obj1, 'beep', obj2 ); if ( bool === false ) { console.log( 'failed to move property' ); } console.dir( obj1 ); /* => {} */ console.dir( obj2 ); /* => { 'foo': 'bar', 'beep': 'boop' } */ ```
