If you want an array with objects: `array.push({ [name]: 1 });` — 0stone0, Apr 04 '22 at 14:58

An object would fit the bill:

var key = "example";
var value = 1;
var dict = {};
dict[key] = value;

This is not JSON; it is simply an object. JSON is a string. – user1599011 Apr 04 '22 at 14:59
@user1599011 JSON = Javascript Object Notation – Dean Van Greunen Apr 04 '22 at 14:59
Fair enough; corrected. – duffymo Apr 04 '22 at 15:00
`Java Script Object Notation` is not the same as an object. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON – user1599011 Apr 04 '22 at 15:00
I just try array.push({[name]: 1}); and work for me!! Thanks a lot! – XHavckecX Apr 04 '22 at 15:09

You can use:

var name = "example";
var array = [];
array[name] = 1;
console.log(array[name])

Or directly:

var name = "example";
var array = { name: 1};
console.log(array[name])
