I have the following object structure:
var obj = {
"51523":{
"firstname":"Tiki",
"lastname":"Pur",
"age":25
},
"98741":{
"firstname":"Nagasti",
"lastname":"Bagamba",
"age":20
}
}
First - the reason behind this structure. I want to be able to access objects inside obj easily, like so:
obj["51523"].age = 25
is there a way of adding a new object to obj?
Yes, use dot or bracket notation... obj.newObj = {} or obj['12345'] = {}
Dot Notation
obj.newObject = {
"firstname": "John",
"lastname": "Smith",
"age": 30
}
Bracket Notation
obj['12345'] = {
"firstname": "John",
"lastname": "Smith",
"age": 30
}
Yes, It can be done in several ways
1) Obj["newobj"]={"key":"value"}
2) Obj.newObj = {"key":"value"}
you can use Constructor function if you want to create multiple objects or can use Object.create() and add to existing object using 1 or 2
You need to define obj as a variable and use dot notation to set properties equal to objects.
Example:
var example = true;
example.tutorialProperty = {
aProperty: null,
aBoolean: true,
anInteger: 1
}
If you wanted to cycle through them, then you could make a property that contains multiple variable objects.
var example = true;
var object_one = {
property: true
}
var object_infinity = {
property: true
}
example.objectArray = [object_one, object_infinity];
Now example has a property with the value of an array.
There's other ways to do this, but this should do for now.
Hope I helped!
