How can I use multiple variables name as a object name?

Question

For example,

name = 'myname'
age  = '16'

Now I need the object name as: userObject.myname_16.another_field

Could you elaborate more on that? Cause it's not very clear what you're asking for. — nick zoum, Jun 01 '17 at 08:54
Why would you want that? Can you post some more context? What have you tried? — Mike Bovenlander, Jun 01 '17 at 08:54
If I understand you correctly, you can try `userObject[name+'_'+age].another_field ` — Nico Van Belle, Jun 01 '17 at 08:55
you can use like this userObject[name +'_'+age][another_field] — Anurag, Jun 01 '17 at 08:55

You can access Object properties with square brackets too (bracket notation).

Try the following;

userObject[name+'_'+age].another_field

Not sure what you are exactly looking for.

May be you want to create nested objects.

name = 'myname';
age  = '16';

console.log("Name",name);

var userObject = { name : { city : "NY" }};

console.log(userObject.name.city);

name = 'myname';
age  = '16';

var userObject = {};
userObject[name+"_"+age]= "Test";

console.log(userObject.myname_16);
