set object value javascript code example

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" }

  "friends": ["freeCodeCamp Campers"]
};

// Update the name value
myDog.name = "Happy Coder";

console.log(object);
function change() {
  object.boo = false;
  object.baa++;
};
change();
console.log(object);
