**Define Accessor** is a simple utility for defining a getter/setter in
ES5 with the same [property descriptor][descriptor] as an [ES2015 class][class]
accessor.

## Install

Install with [npm][npm]:

```sh
npm install --save define-accessor
```

## Usage

In ES2015, we might do this:

```js
class Octopus {
constructor(name) {
this.name = name;
}
get nameEqualsTentacles() {
return this.name.length === 8;
}
}
```

In ES5, we can do this:

```js
var defineAccessor = require('define-accessor');

function Octopus(name) {
this.name = name;
}

defineAccessor(Octopus, 'nameEqualsTentacles', function() {
return this.name.length === 8;
});
```

And here is Vladimir:

```js
new Octopus('Vladimir').nameEqualsTentacles; // -> true
```
