Accessing an object property with a dynamically-computed name
(19 answers)
Closed 4 months ago.
I'm pulling items out of the DOM with jQuery and want to set a property on an object using the id of the DOM element.
Example
const obj = {}
jQuery(itemsFromDom).each(function() {
const element = jQuery(this)
const name = element.attr('id')
const value = element.attr('value')
// Here is the problem
obj.name = value
})
If itemsFromDom includes an element with an id of "myId", I want obj to have a property named "myId". The above gives me name.
How do I name a property of an object using a variable using JavaScript?
You can use this equivalent syntax:
obj[name] = value
Example:
let obj = {};
obj["the_key"] = "the_value";
or with ES6 features:
let key = "the_key";
let obj = {
[key]: "the_value",
};
in both examples, console.log(obj) will return: { the_key: 'the_value' }
With ECMAScript 2015 you can do it directly in object declaration using bracket notation:
var obj = {
[key]: value
}
Where key can be any sort of expression (e.g. a variable) returning a value:
var obj = {
['hello']: 'World',
[x + 2]: 42,
[someObject.getId()]: someVar
}
You can even make List of objects like this
var feeTypeList = [];
$('#feeTypeTable > tbody > tr').each(function (i, el) {
var feeType = {};
var $ID = $(this).find("input[id^=txtFeeType]").attr('id');
feeType["feeTypeID"] = $('#ddlTerm').val();
feeType["feeTypeName"] = $('#ddlProgram').val();
feeType["feeTypeDescription"] = $('#ddlBatch').val();
feeTypeList.push(feeType);
});
There are two different notations to access object properties
Dot notation: myObj.prop1
Bracket notation: myObj["prop1"]
Dot notation is fast and easy but you must use the actual property name explicitly. No substitution, variables, etc.
Bracket notation is open ended. It uses a string but you can produce the string using any legal js code. You may specify the string as literal (though in this case dot notation would read easier) or use a variable or calculate in some way.
So, these all set the myObj property named prop1 to the value Hello:
// quick easy-on-the-eye dot notation
myObj.prop1 = "Hello";
// brackets+literal
myObj["prop1"] = "Hello";
// using a variable
var x = "prop1";
myObj[x] = "Hello";
// calculate the accessor string in some weird way
var numList = [0,1,2];
myObj[ "prop" + numList[1] ] = "Hello";
Pitfalls:
myObj.[xxxx] = "Hello"; // wrong: mixed notations, syntax fail
myObj[prop1] = "Hello"; // wrong: this expects a variable called prop1
tl;dnr: If you want to compute or reference the key you must use bracket notation. If you are using the key explicitly, then use dot notation for simple clear code.
Note: there are some other good and correct answers but I personally found them a bit brief coming from a low familiarity with JS on-the-fly quirkiness. This might be useful to some people.
With lodash, you can create new object like this _.set:
obj = _.set({}, key, val);
Or you can set to existing object like this:
var existingObj = { a: 1 };
_.set(existingObj, 'a', 5); // existingObj will be: { a: 5 }
You should take care if you want to use dot (".") in your path, because lodash can set hierarchy, for example:
_.set({}, "a.b.c", "d"); // { "a": { "b": { "c": "d" } } }
First we need to define key as variable and then we need to assign as key as object., for example
var data = {key:'dynamic_key',value:'dynamic_value'}
var key = data.key;
var obj = { [key]: data.value}
console.log(obj)
Related to the subject, not specifically for jquery though. I used this in ec6 react projects, maybe helps someone:
this.setState({ [`${name}`]: value}, () => {
console.log("State updated: ", JSON.stringify(this.state[name]));
});
PS: Please mind the quote character.
With the advent of ES2015 Object.assign and computed property names the OP's code boils down to:
var obj = Object.assign.apply({}, $(itemsFromDom).map((i, el) => ({[el.id]: el.value})));
ajavascript have two type of annotation for fetching javascript Object properties:
Obj = {};
1) (.) annotation eg. Obj.id
this will only work if the object already have a property with name 'id'
2) ([]) annotation eg . Obj[id] here if the object does not have any property with name 'id',it will create a new property with name 'id'.
so for below example:
A new property will be created always when you write Obj[name].
And if the property already exist with the same name it will override it.
const obj = {}
jQuery(itemsFromDom).each(function() {
const element = jQuery(this)
const name = element.attr('id')
const value = element.attr('value')
// This will work
obj[name]= value;
})
If you want to add fields to an object dynamically, simplest way to do it is as follows:
let params = [
{ key: "k1", value: 1 },
{ key: "k2", value: 2 },
{ key: "k3", value: 3 },
];
let data = {};
for (let i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
data[params[i].key] = params[i].value;
}
console.log(data); // -> { k1: 1, k2: 2, k3: 3 }
The 3 ways to access the object value
We can output the object value by passing in the appropriate key. Because I used emoji as the key in my example, it's a bit tricky. So let's look at a easier example.
let me = {
name: 'samantha',
};
// 1. Dot notation
me.name; // samantha
// 2. Bracket notation (string key)
me['name']; // samantha
// 3. Bracket notation (variable key)
let key = 'name';
me[key]; // samantha

If you have object, you can make array of keys, than map through, and create new object from previous object keys, and values.
Object.keys(myObject)
.map(el =>{
const obj = {};
obj[el]=myObject[el].code;
console.log(obj);
});
objectname.newProperty = value;
const data = [{
name: 'BMW',
value: '25641'
}, {
name: 'Apple',
value: '45876'
},
{
name: 'Benz',
value: '65784'
},
{
name: 'Toyota',
value: '254'
}
]
const obj = {
carsList: [{
name: 'Ford',
value: '47563'
}, {
name: 'Toyota',
value: '254'
}],
pastriesList: [],
fruitsList: [{
name: 'Apple',
value: '45876'
}, {
name: 'Pineapple',
value: '84523'
}]
}
let keys = Object.keys(obj);
result = {};
for(key of keys){
let a = [...data,...obj[key]];
result[key] = a;
}

Dynamically I'm getting several objects having the following structure.
obj1 = {
prop: 'one',
key: 'string',
value: 2
}
obj2 = {
prop: 'one',
key: 'diffString',
value: 3
}
Also, I have an object which I want to turn into this using received objects.
mainObject = {
prop: {
key1: value,
key2: value
}
}
I'm trying to use this
mainObject[obj.prop][obj.key] = obj.value;
But it gives me an error because at this point mainObject is just an empty object and it doesn't have mainObject[obj.prop]
Any help will be much appreciated.
The simplest way to achieve this is as follows:
// If no value for obj.prop exists, assign empty object
mainObject[obj.prop] = mainObject[obj.prop] || {};
// Assign value to obj.key of object at mainObject[obj.prop]
mainObject[obj.prop][obj.key] = obj.value;
This code is first ensuring that a valid value (object) exists at the key obj.prop on mainObject. If there is not valid object at key obj.prop, then a new empty object is assigned {}.
The mainObject[obj.prop][obj.key] = obj.value assignment can now be performed safely seeing that an object exists at mainObject[obj.prop].
Alternatively, if you want a more concise way of doing this you could consider the lodash library which offers the .set() method:
_.set(mainObject, obj.prop + '.' + obj.prop, obj.value);
Hope this helps!
all you can do is push your upcoming object into an array and by using reduce method you can simply achieve your desired output
let mainObject = [obj1, obj2].reduce((result, obj) => {
result[obj.prop] = result[obj.prop] || {};
result[obj.prop][obj.key] = obj.value;
return result;
}, {});
I want to find object property dynamically from array that map to property location.
Example
Var objectA = { a:{b:1} };
Var Names = ['objectA','a','b'];
Howa can i get value of b by looping over array Names ?
Assuming objectA is available in the global scope (window.objectA), you could do something like this:
names.reduce(function (memo, value) {
return memo[value];
}, window)
For any other "non-global" variable, you can create a getter function that takes the variable and the path (an array just like your names, but without the first value) as a parameter:
function nestedValue(obj, path) {
return path.reduce(function (memo, value) {
return memo[value];
}, obj);
}
BTW, please note that Array.prototype.reduce() is a ES2015 feature, so if you need to be compatible with older browsers, you would have to use some variation of for loop for this task.
You could also check out lodash.get for more sophisticated solution (if you're willing to include it in your project).
You can use eval: eval(Names.join('.'))
Can use this with nodejs inside a sandbox:
const util = require('util');
const vm = require('vm');
const objectA = { a: { b: 1 }};
const Names = ['objectA', 'a', 'b'];
const sandbox = { objectA: objectA, Names: Names };
vm.createContext(sandbox);
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
vm.runInContext("var result = eval(Names.join('.'))", sandbox);
}
console.log(util.inspect(sandbox));
/* {
objectA: { a: { b: 1 } },
Names: [ 'objectA', 'a', 'b' ],
result: 1
}
*/
To do this without eval would require you store ObjectA as a property of another object that you could iterate over using the array keys. eval will work in this case though:
objectA = { a: { b: 1 }}
names = ['objectA', 'a', 'b']
alert(eval(names.join('.')))

Accessing an object property with a dynamically-computed name
(19 answers)
Closed 4 months ago.
I'm pulling items out of the DOM with jQuery and want to set a property on an object using the id of the DOM element.
Example
const obj = {}
jQuery(itemsFromDom).each(function() {
const element = jQuery(this)
const name = element.attr('id')
const value = element.attr('value')
// Here is the problem
obj.name = value
})
If itemsFromDom includes an element with an id of "myId", I want obj to have a property named "myId". The above gives me name.
How do I name a property of an object using a variable using JavaScript?
You can use this equivalent syntax:
obj[name] = value
Example:
let obj = {};
obj["the_key"] = "the_value";
or with ES6 features:
let key = "the_key";
let obj = {
[key]: "the_value",
};
in both examples, console.log(obj) will return: { the_key: 'the_value' }
With ECMAScript 2015 you can do it directly in object declaration using bracket notation:
var obj = {
[key]: value
}
Where key can be any sort of expression (e.g. a variable) returning a value:
var obj = {
['hello']: 'World',
[x + 2]: 42,
[someObject.getId()]: someVar
}
You can even make List of objects like this
var feeTypeList = [];
$('#feeTypeTable > tbody > tr').each(function (i, el) {
var feeType = {};
var $ID = $(this).find("input[id^=txtFeeType]").attr('id');
feeType["feeTypeID"] = $('#ddlTerm').val();
feeType["feeTypeName"] = $('#ddlProgram').val();
feeType["feeTypeDescription"] = $('#ddlBatch').val();
feeTypeList.push(feeType);
});
There are two different notations to access object properties
Dot notation: myObj.prop1
Bracket notation: myObj["prop1"]
Dot notation is fast and easy but you must use the actual property name explicitly. No substitution, variables, etc.
Bracket notation is open ended. It uses a string but you can produce the string using any legal js code. You may specify the string as literal (though in this case dot notation would read easier) or use a variable or calculate in some way.
So, these all set the myObj property named prop1 to the value Hello:
// quick easy-on-the-eye dot notation
myObj.prop1 = "Hello";
// brackets+literal
myObj["prop1"] = "Hello";
// using a variable
var x = "prop1";
myObj[x] = "Hello";
// calculate the accessor string in some weird way
var numList = [0,1,2];
myObj[ "prop" + numList[1] ] = "Hello";
Pitfalls:
myObj.[xxxx] = "Hello"; // wrong: mixed notations, syntax fail
myObj[prop1] = "Hello"; // wrong: this expects a variable called prop1
tl;dnr: If you want to compute or reference the key you must use bracket notation. If you are using the key explicitly, then use dot notation for simple clear code.
Note: there are some other good and correct answers but I personally found them a bit brief coming from a low familiarity with JS on-the-fly quirkiness. This might be useful to some people.
With lodash, you can create new object like this _.set:
obj = _.set({}, key, val);
Or you can set to existing object like this:
var existingObj = { a: 1 };
_.set(existingObj, 'a', 5); // existingObj will be: { a: 5 }
You should take care if you want to use dot (".") in your path, because lodash can set hierarchy, for example:
_.set({}, "a.b.c", "d"); // { "a": { "b": { "c": "d" } } }
First we need to define key as variable and then we need to assign as key as object., for example
var data = {key:'dynamic_key',value:'dynamic_value'}
var key = data.key;
var obj = { [key]: data.value}
console.log(obj)
Related to the subject, not specifically for jquery though. I used this in ec6 react projects, maybe helps someone:
this.setState({ [`${name}`]: value}, () => {
console.log("State updated: ", JSON.stringify(this.state[name]));
});
PS: Please mind the quote character.
With the advent of ES2015 Object.assign and computed property names the OP's code boils down to:
var obj = Object.assign.apply({}, $(itemsFromDom).map((i, el) => ({[el.id]: el.value})));
ajavascript have two type of annotation for fetching javascript Object properties:
Obj = {};
1) (.) annotation eg. Obj.id
this will only work if the object already have a property with name 'id'
2) ([]) annotation eg . Obj[id] here if the object does not have any property with name 'id',it will create a new property with name 'id'.
so for below example:
A new property will be created always when you write Obj[name].
And if the property already exist with the same name it will override it.
const obj = {}
jQuery(itemsFromDom).each(function() {
const element = jQuery(this)
const name = element.attr('id')
const value = element.attr('value')
// This will work
obj[name]= value;
})
If you want to add fields to an object dynamically, simplest way to do it is as follows:
let params = [
{ key: "k1", value: 1 },
{ key: "k2", value: 2 },
{ key: "k3", value: 3 },
];
let data = {};
for (let i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
data[params[i].key] = params[i].value;
}
console.log(data); // -> { k1: 1, k2: 2, k3: 3 }
The 3 ways to access the object value
We can output the object value by passing in the appropriate key. Because I used emoji as the key in my example, it's a bit tricky. So let's look at a easier example.
let me = {
name: 'samantha',
};
// 1. Dot notation
me.name; // samantha
// 2. Bracket notation (string key)
me['name']; // samantha
// 3. Bracket notation (variable key)
let key = 'name';
me[key]; // samantha

If you have object, you can make array of keys, than map through, and create new object from previous object keys, and values.
Object.keys(myObject)
.map(el =>{
const obj = {};
obj[el]=myObject[el].code;
console.log(obj);
});
objectname.newProperty = value;
const data = [{
name: 'BMW',
value: '25641'
}, {
name: 'Apple',
value: '45876'
},
{
name: 'Benz',
value: '65784'
},
{
name: 'Toyota',
value: '254'
}
]
const obj = {
carsList: [{
name: 'Ford',
value: '47563'
}, {
name: 'Toyota',
value: '254'
}],
pastriesList: [],
fruitsList: [{
name: 'Apple',
value: '45876'
}, {
name: 'Pineapple',
value: '84523'
}]
}
let keys = Object.keys(obj);
result = {};
for(key of keys){
let a = [...data,...obj[key]];
result[key] = a;
}
