Understanding JavaScript Objects

JavaScript objects are collections of key-value pairs where keys are strings or Symbols and values can be any data type. Objects can be created using object literals, the Object constructor, or Object.create() for prototype-based inheritance. Properties can be accessed and modified using dot or bracket notation, and methods can be defined within objects to perform actions related to the object.

JavaScript Objects

1. What is an Object?
An object in JavaScript is a collection of key-value pairs where the keys
(properties) are strings (or Symbols), and the values can be any data type.

let person = {
name: "John",
age: 30,
isEmployed: true
};
2. Creating Objects
Using Object Literals (Most Common)

let car = {
brand: "Toyota",
model: "Camry",
year: 2022
};
Using the new Object() Constructor

let user = new Object();


[Link] = "Alice";
[Link] = 25;
Using [Link]() (Prototype-Based)

let parent = {
greet: function() {
[Link]("Hello!");
}
};
let child = [Link](parent);
[Link] = "Kid";
[Link]([Link]); // Kid
[Link](); // Hello!
3. Accessing and Modifying Properties
Dot Notation (Recommended)

[Link]([Link]); // John
[Link] = 31;
Bracket Notation (Useful for dynamic keys)

[Link](person["name"]); // John
let key = "age";
[Link](person[key]); // 31
Adding and Deleting Properties

[Link] = "New York"; // Add new property


delete [Link]; // Remove a property
4. Object Methods (Functions inside Objects)

let student = {
name: "Emma",
greet: function() {
[Link](`Hello, my name is ${[Link]}`);
}
};
[Link](); // Hello, my name is Emma
📝 this refers to the current object.
