I would like to push to a single object similar to the following code
error = [];
error.push({name: 'Name is too short'});
error.push({email: 'Email address is too short'});
The problem with this is that it makes multiple objects and I wish to only create one.
Can you tell me the best way to do this or point me in the right direction, thank you.
You don't push to an object, just make it an object and not an array and add properties:
var error = {};
error.name = 'Name is too short';
error.email = 'Email address is too short';
Remember, your JSON syntax. You are pushing everything to an array in your example. You don't want to "push" anything here but instead append properties to an existing object:
var error = {};
error.name = 'Name is too short';
error.email = 'Email address is too short';
If you are using JQuery you can use
var object = $.extends({name: 'Name is too short'}, {email: 'Email address is too short'});
If you are not using JQuery, Ryan Lynch provide a solution here.
{name: 'name', email: 'email' }
