JavaScript handler.construct() method in JavaScript is a trap for the new operation and this method returns an object.

Syntax: 

const p = new Proxy(target, {
      construct: function(target, argumentsList, newTarget) {
  }
});  

Parameters: This method accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below: 

• Target: This parameter holds the target object.
• argumentsList: This parameter holds the list of the constructor.
• newTarget: This parameter holds the constructor that was originally called, p above.

Return value: This method returns an object.

Below examples illustrate the handler.construct() method in JavaScript:

Example 1: In this example, we will set a trap for an operation and return a new object using the handler.construct() method in JavaScript.

function monster1(disposition) {
    this.disposition = disposition;
}

const handler1 = {
    construct(target, args) {
        console.log('Users at Geeksforgeeks are called');

        return new target(...args);
    }
};

const proxy1 = new Proxy(monster1, handler1);
console.log(new proxy1('Geeks').disposition);

let pro = new Proxy(function () { }, {
    construct: function (objTarget, args, oldConstructor) {
        return { Value: args[0] + " to anybody" }
    }
})

console.log(JSON.stringify(new pro("Hello "), null, ' '))  

Output:

"Users at Geeksforgeeks are called"
"Geeks"
"{
 "Value": "Hello  to anybody"
}"

Example 2: In this example, we will set a trap for an operation and return a new object using the handler.construct() method in JavaScript.

const p = new Proxy(function () { }, {
    construct: function (target, argumentsList, newTarget) {
        console.log('Value: ' + argumentsList.join(', '));
        return { value: argumentsList[0] * 10 / 3 };
    }
});

console.log('New Value: ' + new p(4).value);

Output: 

"Value: 4"
"New Value: 13.333333333333334"
