Hey everyone, in this video, I'm going to show you how to add more object properties in JavaScript. Working with objects is a common task in web development, and sometimes you may need to add new properties to an object dynamically. Here are a few techniques to achieve this.
Method 1: Dot notation
Using dot notation, you can easily add new properties to an object. Here's an example:
```javascript
let person = {
name: 'John',
age: 25
};
person.city = 'New York';
console.log(person);
```
In this example, we added a new property called 'city' to the 'person' object using dot notation.
Method 2: Square bracket notation
Another way to add properties to an object is by using square bracket notation. This method is useful when the property name is stored in a variable. Here's an example:
```javascript
let car = {
brand: 'Toyota',
model: 'Camry'
};
let propertyName = 'year';
car[propertyName] = 2022;
console.log(car);
```
In this example, we used square bracket notation to add a new property called 'year' to the 'car' object. The property name is stored in the 'propertyName' variable.
Method 3: Object.assign() method
The Object.assign() method is another way to add properties to an object. It allows you to merge multiple objects into one. Here's an example:
```javascript
let laptop = {
brand: 'Dell',
model: 'XPS 13'
};
let additionalProperties = {
memory: '16GB',
storage: '512GB SSD'
};
Object.assign(laptop, additionalProperties);
console.log(laptop);
```
In this example, we used Object.assign() to add the properties from the 'additionalProperties' object to the 'laptop' object.
Method 4: Spread operator
The spread operator (...) can also be used to add properties to an object. It creates a copy of the original object and allows you to add new properties. Here's an example:
```javascript
let student = {
name: 'Alice',
grade: 'A'
};
let updatedStudent = {
...student,
age: 18,
subjects: ['Math', 'Science']
};
console.log(updatedStudent);
```
In this example, we used the spread operator to add the 'age' and 'subjects' properties to the 'student' object, creating a new object called 'updatedStudent'.
These are some of the common techniques to add more object properties in JavaScript. I hope you found this video helpful.
