How can I create a new object from existing values?

Question

I have

object.name = 'foo';
var value = 'bar';
...
var params = { object.name : 1, value : value};

I want a result equivalent to

var params = { foo : 1, value : bar };

what can I do?

Objects are sometimes called associative arrays, since each property is associated with a `string value that can be used to access it.

Try using [] to set object property -

object.name = 'foo';
var value = 'bar';
var params = { value:value};
params[ object.name] = 1;

Output:- {value: "bar", foo: 1}
