How can you create an object with a dynamically created NAME? NOT dynamically created keys or values. I'd like to learn this in both jQuery and javascript
var com = "thing_"
var bined = "one"
var [com+bined] = {}
//so I can populate as such:
thing_one.key = value
I've googled my eyes out and tried a thousand things. Thanks in advance and apologies if I overlooked the obvious.
UPDATE: I accepted BadPiggie answer, as it does function as requested, however, I agree with Teemu and Terry's comments: this is not necessary and doesn't really have a use case.
It was fun to explore, thanks for all your input!
In javascript (In browser) global variables are property of window object. So you can do like this.
var com = "thing_"
var bined = "one"
window[com+bined] = {}
//you can populate as such:
thing_one.key = "some value";
console.log(thing_one);Or you can use eval() but Not Recommended
var com = "thing_"
var bined = "one"
eval(`var ${com + bined} = {}`);
//you can populate as such:
thing_one.key = "some value";
console.log(thing_one);You need to reference another object to stick your object in. If you did this in a class, you could do this[com+bined]={}. Outside of a class, you could do window[com+bined]={}.
