Understanding non-serializable JavaScript functions

A reference list of JavaScript functions that do not support serialization.

Some JavaScript functions fail to serialize due to their structure and behavior. This page lists these functions to help you identify potential issues when working with serialized JavaScript execution.

  • Functions with closures
Copy icon Copy
function createCounter() {
  let count = 0;
  return function() {
    return ++count;
  };
}
  • Recursive functions
Copy icon Copy
function factorial(n) {
  return n <= 1 ? 1 : n * factorial(n - 1);
}
  • Parameter destructuring
Copy icon Copy
function processConfig({
  user: { name = "Anonymous", settings: { theme = "light" } = {} } = {},
  options = { verbose: false }
}) {
  return { userName: name, theme, verbose: options.verbose };
}
  • Self-referential functions
Copy icon Copy
function selfReturn() {
  return selfReturn;
}
  • Higher-order functions
Copy icon Copy
function createMultiplier(factor) {
  return function(x) {
    return x * factor;
  };
}
  • Proxy objects
Copy icon Copy
const target = { message: "hello" };
const handler = {
  get(obj, prop) {
    return prop in obj ? obj[prop].toUpperCase() : undefined;
  }
};
const proxy = new Proxy(target, handler);
console.log(proxy.message);
  • Circular references
Copy icon Copy
const parent = { name: "parent", child: null };
const child = { name: "child", parent: parent };
parent.child = child;

These functions fail to serialize due to their structure. Keep this in mind when working with serialized JavaScript execution.
