I'd like to have JavaScript objects within another JavaScript object as such:
Issues:
- {"ID" : "1", "Name" : "Missing Documentation", "Notes" : "Issue1 Notes"}
- {"ID" : "2", "Name" : "Software Bug", "Notes" : "Issue2 Notes, blah, blah"}
- {"ID" : "2", "Name" : "System Not Ready", "Notes" : "Issue3 Notes, etc"}
// etc...
So, I'd like "Issues" to hold each of these JavaScript objects, so that I can just say Issues[0].Name, or Issues[2].ID, etc.
I've created the outer Issues JavaScript object:
var jsonIssues = {};
I'm to the point where I need to add a JavaScript object to it, but don't know how. I'd like to be able to say:
Issues<code here>.Name = "Missing Documentation";
Issues<code here>.ID = "1";
Issues<code here>.Notes = "Notes, notes notes";
Is there any way to do this? Thanks.
UPDATE: Per answers given, declared an array, and am pushing JavaScript objects on as needed:
var jsonArray_Issues = new Array();
jsonArray_Issues.push( { "ID" : id, "Name" : name, "Notes" : notes } );
Thanks for the responses.

var jsonIssues = []; // new Array
jsonIssues.push( { ID:1, "Name":"whatever" } );
// "push" some more here
As my first object is a native JavaScript object (used like a list of objects), push didn't work in my scenario, but I resolved it by adding new key as follows:
MyObjList['newKey'] = obj;
In addition to this, may be useful to know how to delete the same object as inserted before:
delete MyObjList['newKey'][id];
Hope it helps someone as it helped me.
var jsonIssues = [
{ID:'1',Name:'Some name',Notes:'NOTES'},
{ID:'2',Name:'Some name 2',Notes:'NOTES 2'}
];
If you want to add to the array then you can do this
jsonIssues[jsonIssues.length] = {ID:'3',Name:'Some name 3',Notes:'NOTES 3'};
Or you can use the push technique that the other guy posted, which is also good.
// Merge object2 into object1, recursively
$.extend( true, object1, object2 );
// Merge object2 into object1
$.extend( object1, object2 );
If it's not an array of object you can do this:
let student= {
name : 'Mr. Anderson',
id: 35
}
student['grade'] = 10; //for a property.
Result:
student= {
name : 'Mr. Anderson',
id: 35,
grade:10
}
You also can add an object:
let student= {
personalData:{
//personal data key-value
}
}
let academicData = {
//academic data key-value
}
student['academicData'] = academicData;
Result:
student{
personalData{},
academicData{}
}
jsonIssues = [...jsonIssues,{ID:'3',Name:'name 3',Notes:'NOTES 3'}]
