<div>{{JSRef}}</div>

<p>El bien conocido símbolo <strong><code>Symbol.hasInstance</code></strong> es usado para determinar si un constructor reconoce un objeto como su instancia. El comportamiento del operador {{jsxref("Operators/instanceof", "instanceof")}} puede ser personalizado con este símbolo.</p>

<div>{{js_property_attributes(0,0,0)}}</div>

<h2 id="Ejemplos">Ejemplos</h2>

<p>Usted puede implementar un comportamiento personalizado para el operador <code>instanceof</code> tal que así:</p>

<pre class="brush: js">class MyArray {
  static [Symbol.hasInstance](instance) {
    return Array.isArray(instance);
  }
}
console.log([] instanceof MyArray); // true</pre>
