Example 1: how to add field to object in js

// original object { key1: "a", key2: "b"}
var obj = {
    key1: "a",
    key2: "b"
};

// adding new filed - you can use 2 ways
obj.key3 = "c"; // static
// or
obj["key3"] = "c"; // dynamic - 'key3' can be a variable
console.log(obj) // {key1: "a", key2: "b", key3: "c" }

How about storing the alerts as records in an array instead of properties of a single object ?

var alerts = [ 
    {num : 1, app:'helloworld',message:'message'},
    {num : 2, app:'helloagain',message:'another message'} 
]
And then to add one, just use push:

alerts.push({num : 3, app:'helloagain_again',message:'yet another message'});
