Javascript use variable as object name

Question

I want to use the value of a variable to access an object.

Let's say I have an object named myobject.

I want to fill a variable with this name and use the variable to access the object.

Example:

var objname = 'myobject'; {objname}.value = 'value'; 

Answer 1

Global:

myObject = { value: 0 }; anObjectName = "myObject"; this[anObjectName].value++;  console.log(this[anObjectName]); 

Global: v2

var anObjectName = "myObject"; this[anObjectName] = "myvalue"  console.log(myObject) 

Local: v1

(function() {     var scope = this;      if (scope != arguments.callee) {         arguments.callee.call(arguments.callee);         return false;     }      scope.myObject = { value: 0 };     scope.anObjectName = "myObject";     scope[scope.anObjectName].value++;      console.log(scope.myObject.value); })(); 

Local: v2

(function() {       var scope = this;      scope.myObject = { value: 0 };     scope.anObjectName = "myObject";     scope[scope.anObjectName].value++;      console.log(scope.myObject.value);     }).call({}); 

Answer 2

Use square bracket around variable name.

var objname = 'myobject'; {[objname]}.value = 'value';
