How do you add a key value pair in javascript

There are two possible solutions to add new properties to an object.

Let's take a simple object to explain these solutions.

  var object = {
    key1: value1,
    key2: value2,
  };

1. Using dot notation: This solution is useful when you know the name of the property

  object.key3 = "value3";

2. Using square bracket notation: This solution is useful when the name of the property is dynamically determined or the key's name is non-JS like "user-name"

  obj["key3"] = "value3";
