What is the best way to create an array of objects in Javascript?

Question

I understand that in Javascript, I can create an object like this:

var cup = {};

Furthermore, I can set properties like this:

cup.color = 'Blue';
cup.size = 'Large';
cup.type = 'Mug';

Can I create an array of cups? For example:

cup[0].color = 'Blue';
cup[1].size = 'Large';
cup[2].type = 'Mug';

Answer 1

Creating an array is as simple as this:

var cups = [];

You can create a populated array like this:

var cups = [
    {
        color:'Blue'
    },
    {
        color:'Green'
    }
];

You can add more items to the array like this:

cups.push({
    color:"Red"
});
