Javascript expression to define object's property name?

Question

I'd like to create this object...

object = {
  'object[1][var_name_1]' : 'value1',
  'object[1][var_name_2]' : 'value2',
};

I'm trying to it this way, but I'm getting error missing : after property id...

function getPrefix() {
  return 'object[1]';
}

object = {
  getPrefix() + '[var_name_1]' : 'value1',
  getPrefix() + '[var_name_2]' : 'value2',
}

What am I doing wrong? Or maybbe it is impossible to set object property name using js experession?

Thank you

You cant set variable properties using literal syntax, but you can set properties using [], after you've created the object:

myObject = {}
myObject["any_string_here"] = myValue
