How to “properly” create a custom object in JavaScript?

Question

I wonder about what the best way is to create an JavaScript object that has properties and methods.

I have seen examples where the person used var self = this<

Answer 1

I'd like to mention that we can use either a Title or a String to declare an Object.
There are different ways on calling each type of them. See below:

var test = {

  useTitle : "Here we use 'a Title' to declare an Object",
  'useString': "Here we use 'a String' to declare an Object",
  
  onTitle : function() {
    return this.useTitle;
  },
  
  onString : function(type) {
    return this[type];
  }
  
}

console.log(test.onTitle());
console.log(test.onString('useString'));
