How to access the Blendmodes in Photoshop Constants

Photoshop
1

Hello everyone!
I am now able to run the plugin for the simple tasks like opening and closing files, now I wanted to be able to apply Layer BlendModes to a layer and read the documentation about how to get them, but apparently I do not understand the API correctly.
Even though I did import the constants obj. I do not know how to extract the BlendModes out of the object.
I hoped it would be stored in an array, or that if I would use an array with the exact names, it would work, but sadly it did not so far.

Maybe one of you can support me with this!
Cheers,
Oliver

At the top of your linked page it shows how to use

const {constants} = require("photoshop")
console.log(constants.BlendMode.COLOR)

Dissolve example…

const { app, core, constants } = require("photoshop");

async function dissolveSelectedLayer() {
    const doc = app.activeDocument;
    const layer = doc.activeLayers[0];
    await core.executeAsModal(async () => {
        layer.blendMode = constants.BlendMode.DISSOLVE;
    });
}

Hey guys @Karmalakas and @jduncan ,
thank you!

I did not see it, like looking but not seeing.
I will implement it like Josh showed.

Already imported the object before, but got stuck as I did not access the stored constants correctly.

Thank you again and have a brilliant day!
Cheers,
Oliver
