JavaScript Objects

JavaScript objects are non-primitive data types that store collections of data in key-value pairs. They can be declared using curly braces and can contain properties, nested objects, and methods. Properties can be accessed using dot notation or bracket notation, and methods are functions defined within the object.

JavaScript Objects

JavaScript object is a non-primitive data-type that allows you to


store multiple collections of data.
Here is an example of a JavaScript object.

// object
const student = {
firstName: 'ram',
class: 10
};

Here, student is an object that stores values such as strings and numbers.
JavaScript Object Declaration
The syntax to declare an object is:

const object_name = {
key1: value1,
key2: value2
}

Here, an object object_name is defined. Each member of an object is a key:


value pair separated by commas and enclosed in curly braces {} .

For example,

// object creation
const person = {
name: 'John',
age: 20
};
console.log(typeof person); // object

You can also define an object in a single line.

const person = { name: 'John', age: 20 };


In the above example, name and age are keys, and John and 20 are values
respectively.
There are other ways to declare an object in JavaScript.
JavaScript Object Properties
In JavaScript, "key: value" pairs are called properties. For example,

let person = {
name: 'John',
age: 20
};

Here, name: 'John' and age: 20 are properties.


Accessing Object Properties
You can access the value of a property by using its key.
1. Using dot Notation

Here's the syntax of the dot notation.

objectName.key

For example,

const person = {
name: 'John',
age: 20,
};

// accessing property
console.log(person.name); // John
Run Code
2. Using bracket Notation

Here is the syntax of the bracket notation.

objectName["propertyName"]

For example,

const person = {
name: 'John',
age: 20,
};

// accessing property
console.log(person["name"]); // John

JavaScript Nested Objects


An object can also contain another object. For example,

// nested object
const student = {
name: 'John',
age: 20,
marks: {
science: 70,
math: 75
}
}

// accessing property of student object


console.log(student.marks); // {science: 70, math: 75}

// accessing property of marks object


console.log(student.marks.science); // 70

In the above example, an object student contains an object value in


the marks property.+
JavaScript Object Methods
In JavaScript, an object can also contain a function. For example,
const person = {
name: 'Sam',
age: 30,
// using function as a value
greet: function() { console.log('hello') }
}

person.greet(); // hello

Here, a function is used as a value for the greet key. That's why we need to
use person.greet() instead of person.greet to call the function inside the object.
A JavaScript method is a property containing a function declaration.
