You can use ES6/ES2015 Object initializer

Example:

let bar = 'bar', foo = 'foo', baz = 'baz'; // declare variables

let obj = {bar, foo, baz}; // use object initializer

console.log(obj);

{bar: 'bar', foo: 'foo', baz: 'baz'} // output

Beware of browsers compatibilities, you always can use Babel
