Add object to object

Question

I have an object like below:

var _names = { 
    '[email protected]' : { 
        '[email protected]' : {
            channel: '1234', 
            from: 'bob'
        }
    },
    '[email protected]' : { 
        '[email protected]' : {
            channel: '53345',
            from: 'dan'
        }
    }
};

How could i add the following to [email protected]:

        '[email protected]' : {
            channel: '23233', 
            from: 'judy'
        }

Any ideas?

Couldn't you make it more localized?

You can add it using the square bracket notation. Since your key names are not valid JavaScript variable names, you cannot use the dot notation.

_names['[email protected]']['[email protected]'] = {
    channel: '23233', 
    from: 'judy'
}

This should work:

_names['[email protected]']['[email protected]'] = {
    channel: '23233', 
    from: 'judy'
};
