Answer 2

use bracket notation: objPosition['title'] = "whatever";

so:

objPosition[ttl] = 'whatever'; 

[edit 11/2019: es20xx]

let objPosition = {};
const ttl = 'title';
// [...]
objPosition = {...objPosition, [ttl]: "whatever"};
console.log(objPosition);

Use the bracket notation like this:

objPosition["title"] = "Whatever";

objPosition[property] = "something";
