I have a simple object and I want to call a particular property by passing a property name through a function:
spit(name);
function spit(value) {
var test = new Object();
test.name = "Bill";
test.number = 24;
console.log(test.value);
}
The above code should return "Bill". How is this possible?
Sounds like you're looking for something like this:
spit('name');
function spit(value) {
var test = new Object();
test.name = "Bill";
test.number = 24;
console.log(test[value]);
}
spit('name'). Thanks! Was having a brain fart.You are returning the value property, which has not been defined for the object. Also, you aren't quoting your parameter when calling spit(), which might be a problem.
Try using this:
function spit(value) {
var test = new Object();
test.name = "Bill";
test.number = 24;
console.log(test[value]);
}
spit('name');
function spit(value) {
var test = {
name: 'Bill',
number: 24
}
test[value] = value;
return test.value;
}
