use variable for object key javascript code example

Example 1: javascript for key in object

// iterates over all enumerable properties of an object that are 
// keyed by strings (ignoring ones keyed by Symbols), 
// including inherited enumerable properties.

const object = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 };

for (const property in object) {
  console.log(`${property}: ${object[property]}`);
}

// expected output:
// "a: 1"
// "b: 2"
// "c: 3"

Example 2: javascript create object key from variable

//For ES6 and Babel
{
    [yourKeyVariable]: "yourValue",
}

// ES5 Alternative
// Create the object first, then use [] to set your variable as a key
var yourObject = {};

yourObject[yourKeyVariable] = "yourValue";
