Object
Extends Literal. Whilst each type of theme template has access to existing objects, you can create your own basic objects within your template. An object can be initialised as a list of zero or more key value pairs, enclosed in curly braces {...}.
Instantiation
...
// initiate an empty object
var myEmptyObj = {};
var isCustomer = true;
// initiate an object with properties
var person = {
name: 'Bobby Bobson',
age: 21,
customer: isCustomer // assign value of existing variable
};
...
Note that in initialisation is always followed by a semicolon.
Accessing properties
Having created an object, you'll need to read or change its properties. Object properties can be accessed by using the dot notation or the bracket notation.
...
// getting values
person.name; // Bobby Bobson
person['age']; // 21
// setting values
person.age = 22;
person['name'] = 'Bob Bobson';
...
