I have the following javascript code:
var date = record.get('Date'),
day = date.getDate(),
month = date.getMonth(),
year = date.getFullYear();
var formattedDate = year + '-' + month + '-' + day;
datePicker.selectedDates = {
formattedDate: formattedDate
};
The result of selectedDates right now is: formattedDate: '2014-7-27'
And I need the result to be
'2014-7-27' : '2014-7-27'
Any clue?
There is currently no syntax to do:
var key = "foo", val = "bar";
var obj = {
[key]: val // syntax error
}
You can do this:
var key = "foo", val = "bar";
var obj = {};
obj[key] = val;
You can consider writing a function to delegate the boilerplating. I'm not sure what API would be best, maybe this:
var obj = build_object(key, val, key2, val2, ...);
ES6 gives us enhanced object literals: http://maximilianhoffmann.com/posts/object-based-javascript-in-es6 , it's still not quite what you need.
var a = "a", b = "b";
var obj = { a, b, func() {
return "foo"
} } // { a: "a", b: "b", "func": function () { .. } }
You can use square bracket syntax to add dynamic key properties to the object.
datePicker.selectedDates = {}
datePicker.selectedDates[formattedDate] = formattedDate;
