How to create an object property from a variable value in JavaScript? [duplicate]

Answer 1

As $scope is an object, you can try with JavaScript by:

$scope['something'] = 'hey'

It is equal to:

$scope.something = 'hey'

I created a fiddle to test.

Answer 2

Oneliner:

obj = (function(attr, val){ var a = {}; a[attr]=val; return a; })('hash', 5);

Or:

attr = 'hash';
val = 5;
var obj = (obj={}, obj[attr]=val, obj);

Anything shorter?

Answer 3

There's the dot notation and the bracket notation

myObj[a] = b;
