另一种理解它的好方法是:

var foo = {}

/* 
foo.constructor is Object, so foo.constructor.prototype is actually 
Object.prototype; Object.prototype in return is what foo.__proto__ links to. 
*/
console.log(foo.constructor.prototype === foo.__proto__);
// this proves what the above comment proclaims: Both statements evaluate to true.
console.log(foo.__proto__ === Object.prototype);
console.log(foo.constructor.prototype === Object.prototype);

仅当支持IE11 __proto__后。在那个版本之前，比如IE9，你可以使用构造函数来获取__proto__. dll。

__proto__是在类/函数的实例创建时创建的。基本上，它包含创建实例的类/函数的原型。 原型包含可以被链接的实际原型。

一种很好的思考方式是……

Prototype用于构造函数。它真的应该被称为“prototypeToInstall”，因为它就是这样的。

__proto__是对象上的“已安装原型”(由上述构造函数()函数创建/安装在对象上)

！！!这是世界上最好的解释!!!!!

var q = {}
var prototype = {prop: 11}

q.prop // undefined
q.__proto__ = prototype
q.prop // 11

在函数构造函数中，当我们编写新Class时，javascript引擎会自动调用这个q.__proto__ = prototype，并在__proto__道具中设置Class.prototype

function Class(){}
Class.prototype = {prop: 999} // set prototype as we need, before call new

var q = new Class() // q.__proto__ = Class.prototype
q.prop // 999

我认为你需要知道__proto__， [[prototype]]和prototype之间的区别。

公认的答案是有帮助的，但它可能暗示(不完全)__proto__只与在构造函数上使用new创建的对象相关，这是不正确的。

更准确地说:__proto__存在于每个对象上。

But what is __proto__ at all? Well, it is an object referencing another object which is also a property of all objects, called [[prototype]]. It's worth mentioning that [[prototype]] is something that JavaScript handles internally and is inaccessible to the developer. Why would we need a reference object to the property [[prototype]] (of all objects)? Because JavaScript doesn't want to allow getting / setting the [[prototype]] directly, so it allows it through a middle layer which is __proto__. So you can think of __proto__ as a getter/setter of the [[prototype]] property. What is prototype then? It is something specific to functions(Initially defined in Function, i.e, Function.prototype and then prototypically inherited by newly created functions, and then again those functions give it to their children, forming a chain of prototypical inheritance). JavaScript uses a parent function's prototype to set its child functions' [[prototype]] when that parent function is run with new (remember we said all objects have [[prototype]]? well, functions are objects too, so they have [[prototype]] as well). So when the [[prototype]] of a function(child) is set to the prototype of another function(parent), you will have this in the end: let child = new Parent(); child.__proto__ === Parent.prototype // --> true. (Remember child.[[prototype]] is inaccessible, so we checked it using __proto__.)

注意1:只要属性不在子对象中，它的__proto__将被“隐式”搜索。例如，if child。Myprop返回一个值，你不能说" Myprop "是子对象的属性，还是父对象原型的属性。这也意味着你永远不需要做这样的事情:child.__proto__.__proto__。我的东西你自己拿去吧，孩子。Myprop会自动为你做这件事。

注意2:即使父对象的原型中有项目，子对象自己的原型最初也是一个空对象。如果您想进一步扩展继承链(将child[ren]添加到child)，则可以向其中添加项或手动从其中删除项。或者可以隐式地操纵它，例如使用类语法。)

注意3:如果你需要自己设置/获取[[prototype]]，使用__proto__有点过时，现代JavaScript建议使用Object。setPrototypeOf和Object。getPrototypeOf代替。

正如这句话所说

__proto__是用于查找链的实际对象 原型是用来构建的对象 当你用new创建一个对象时: (新的Foo)。__proto__ === Foo.prototype; (新的Foo)。原型=== undefined;

我们可以进一步注意到，使用函数构造函数创建的对象的__proto__属性指向相应构造函数的prototype属性所指向的内存位置。

如果我们改变构造函数的prototype的内存位置，派生对象的__proto__仍将继续指向原始地址空间。因此，要使公共属性沿着继承链向下可用，总是将属性附加到构造函数函数原型，而不是重新初始化它(这会改变它的内存地址)。

考虑下面的例子:

function Human(){
    this.speed = 25;
}

var himansh = new Human();

Human.prototype.showSpeed = function(){
    return this.speed;
}

himansh.__proto__ === Human.prototype;  //true
himansh.showSpeed();    //25

//now re-initialzing the Human.prototype aka changing its memory location
Human.prototype = {lhs: 2, rhs:3}

//himansh.__proto__ will still continue to point towards the same original memory location. 

himansh.__proto__ === Human.prototype;  //false
himansh.showSpeed();    //25
