Create object with random key jquery

Question

I want to create a object with a specific name and an array, (e.g. myObject = { name : array()}). I have this code :

 $(".selectedQueues").each(function(){
            var selectionName = $(this).find("input").val();
            var containedQueues = new Array();
            $(this).find("li").each(function(){
                containedQueues.push($(this).text());
            });
            var object = new Object();
            object.selectionName = containedQueues;
            console.log(object);
        });

And when I print the object it is like {selectionName : array[]} , but I want it to be {the value in selectionName : array[]}, can someone help me?

Remember, objects can be accessed with [] as well as .. object[selectionName] = containedQueues; — gen_Eric

Try changing object.selectionName to object[selectionName]:

$(".selectedQueues").each(function(){
    var selectionName = $(this).find("input").val();
    var containedQueues = new Array();
    $(this).find("li").each(function(){
        containedQueues.push($(this).text());
    });
    var object = new Object();
    object[selectionName] = containedQueues;
    console.log(object);
});

EDIT: I was unsure if you were looking to just use selectionName, or the actual name property, which you need to change that portion to:

var selectionName = $(this).find("input").attr('name');
