Why do we use “get” keyword in Vue Project?

In a project where I am working(Vue.JS Project) I found in so many places they have used this 'get' before the function, but I am not clear yet why do we need that. I have added one function with this get:

  get dataNotYetArrived(): boolean {
    return justAnExample;
  }

It will be helpful if someone can explain this to me. Thanks

It's the getter syntax. It's a Javascript feature that assigns a function to be executed when accessing the property -- which is useful when you want the property to return something dynamic, rather than a static value. So:

get someProperty() { ... }

executes the function someProperty() when you access myInstance.someProperty.
