Create an object that contains an array of objects with a for loop

Question

I would like to create on JavaScript an object of one array (line_items_object) that contains objects with a for loop like this structure:

var data = {
    line_items_object: [
    {
       id: 8111696
    },
    {
       id: 8111688
    }
    ]
};

How can I do that?

Where does the value of id come from in this loop?

This will create an array of 100 objects with id values from 1 to 100. If id needs to be calculated or pulled from somewhere, let me know and I'll update the answer.

var data = { line_items_object: [] };
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) data.line_items_object.push({id: i});

var data = { line_items_object: [] }; for (var i = line_items.length-1; i >= 0; i--) data.line_items_object.push({id: line_items[i]['id']}); console.log(data);
