Add another value to nested javascript object?

Question

I have the following JavaScript object, with a property called rates, which contains another object with the actual rates. Now I want to add a new rate "CAD":0.972254 to the rates. How can I add this one value to the list?

var Currency = {
  rates: {"USD":1.0,"EUR":1.3497,"GBP":1.60403},
  convert: function(amount, from, to) {
    return (amount * this.rates[from]) / this.rates[to]; 
  }
};

Well... Currency.rates.CAD = 0.972254 Just like you'd do with any object property access. — user2736012

You can do it either way

Currency['rates']['CAD'] = 0.972254;

Or,

Currency.rates.CAD = 0.972254

You can assign a new property to existing object like:

Currency.rates.CAD = 0.972254
