JavaScript 

Objects

A javaScript object is an entity having state and behavior (properties and method). For
example: car, pen, bike, chair, glass, keyboard, monitor etc.
JavaScript is an object-based language. Everything is an object in JavaScript.
JavaScript is template based not class based. Here, we don't create class to get the
object. But, we direct create objects
In real life, a car is an object.
A car has properties like weight and color, and methods like start and stop:

Object Properties Methods

car.name = Fiat car.start()

car.model = 500 car.drive()

car.weight = 850kg car.brake()

car.color = white car.stop()

All cars have the same properties, but the property values differ from car to car.
All cars have the same methods, but the methods are performed at different times.

Creating Objects in JavaScript

There are 3 ways to create objects.

1. By object literal
2. By creating instance of Object directly (using new keyword)
3. By using an object constructor (using new keyword)

1) By object literal

The syntax of creating object using object literal is given below:


object={property1:value1,property2:value2.....propertyN:valueN}  
As you can see, property and value is separated by : (colon).

Let’s see the simple example of creating object in JavaScript.

<script>  
emp={id:102,name:"Shyam Kumar",salary:40000}  
document.write(emp.id+" "+emp.name+" "+emp.salary);  
</script>  

Output
102 Shyam Kumar 40000

2) By creating instance of Object

The syntax of creating object directly is given below:

var objectname=new Object();  

Here, new keyword is used to create object.

Let’s see the example of creating object directly.

<script>  
var emp=new Object();  
emp.id=101;  
emp.name="Ravi Malik";  
emp.salary=50000;  
document.write(emp.id+" "+emp.name+" "+emp.salary);  
</script>  
Output
101 Ravi 50000

3) By using an Object constructor

Here, you need to create function with arguments. Each argument value can be assigned
in the current object by using this keyword.
The this keyword refers to the current object.
The example of creating object by object constructor is given below
<script>  
function emp(id,name,salary){  
this.id=id;  
this.name=name;  
this.salary=salary;  
}  
e=new emp(103,"Vimal Jaiswal",30000);  
document.write(e.id+" "+e.name+" "+e.salary);  
</script>  

Output
103 Vimal Jaiswal 30000
