This proxy simply appends the string " went through proxy" to every string property set on the target object.

let object  = {};

let handler = {
    set(target, prop, value){ // Note that ES6 object syntax is used
        if('string' === typeof value){
            target[prop] = value + " went through proxy";
        }
    }
};

let proxied = new Proxy(object, handler);

proxied.example = "ExampleValue";

console.log(object); 
// logs: { example: "ExampleValue went trough proxy" }
// you could also access the object via proxied.target

To influence property lookup, the get handler must be used.

In this example, we modify property lookup so that not only the value, but also the type of that value is returned. We use Reflect to ease this.

let handler = {
    get(target, property) {
        if (!Reflect.has(target, property)) {
            return {
                value: undefined,
                type: 'undefined'
            };
        }
        let value = Reflect.get(target, property);
        return {
            value: value,
            type: typeof value
        };
    }
};

let proxied = new Proxy({foo: 'bar'}, handler);
console.log(proxied.foo); // logs `Object {value: "bar", type: "string"}`
