how to do something before every method is run in a class javascript

// we iterate over all method names
Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Foo.prototype).forEach((name) => {

  // First to do: we save the original method. Adding it to prototype
  // is a good idea, we keep 'method1' as '_method1' and so on
  Foo.prototype['_' + name] = Foo.prototype[name];

  // Next, we replace the original method with one that does the logging
  // before and after method execution. 
  Foo.prototype[name] = function() {

    // all arguments that the method receives are in the 'arguments' object
    console.log(`Method call: method1(${Object.values(arguments).join(', ')})`);

    // now we call the original method, _method1, on this with all arguments we received
    // this is probably the most confusing line of code here ;)
    // (I never user this['method'] before - but it works)
    const result = this['_' + name](...arguments);

    // here is the post-execution logging
    console.log(`Method result: ${result}`);

    // and we need to return the original result of the method
    return result;
  };
});
