I get an error when I run this code:

var array = [];

array.push(["one"]:[1,2,3]);
array.push(["two"]:[4,5,6]);

I want my array to look like this in the end: {"one": [1,2,3], "two": [4,5,6]};

I don't know how to fix this error, I want to use push.

An associative array in JavaScript is an object, so you can't use array.push as that's not valid there. You'd just want: array["one"] = [1,2,3]

You should be opting for something like below. Using push, you will not achieve your desired output.

let obj = {};

const item1 = {
  ["one"]: [1, 2, 3]
}
const item2 = {
  ["two"]: [4, 5, 6]
}

obj = {
  ...obj,
  ...item1,
  ...item2
}

The reason you got the error is because you are missing object wrapper notation in your push {}

array.push({["one"]:[1,2,3]});
array.push({["two"]:[4,5,6]});

but as said, this will not give the desired output: {"one": [1,2,3], "two": [4,5,6]};

var array = {};

array.one = [123, 123];
array.two = [123, 123];

console.log(array)

output { one: [ 123, 123 ], two: [ 123, 123 ] }

You must first create the object, assign values into the object, then push it into the array. Refer to this post for more information. push object into array

Javascript doesn't have Associative Arrays like other languages, but it have Objects, that is similar.

var object = {};

object.one = [1,2,3];

// or if the key name comes from a variable:

var key = "two";

object[key] = [4,5,6];

"one" is an object not an array. remove the parenthesis from there. See below code:

array.push({"one":[1,2,3]});
array.push({"two":[4,5,6]});

  • I want my array to look like this in the end: {"one": [1,2,3], "two": [4,5,6]}; does not equal to your solution – Eugen Sunic Dec 28 '19 at 23:33
