In JavaScript, you can create a new object using curly braces {}. Inside these braces, you list properties separated by commas. Each property has a name, a colon, and a value. You don't need to use the "new" keyword or specify the object type.
1. Students:
In this example, we have created a studentData object with properties such as name, age, major, GPA, and enrolledCourses. The properties store information about a student.
let studentData = { name: "John Doe", age: 20, major: "Computer Science", GPA: 3.8, enrolledCourses: ["Introduction to Programming", "Data Structures", "Algorithms"] };
Product :
An object literal that represents a product with some properties and a method to calculate the total price.
let product = { name: "Laptop", price: 1000, tax: 0.1, // A method to calculate the total price getTotalPrice: function() { // Add the tax to the price let total = this.price * (1 + this.tax); // Return the result return total; } }; // Access the properties using dot notation or bracket notation console.log(product.name); // Laptop console.log(product["price"]); // 1000 // Call the method using dot notation console.log(product.getTotalPrice()); // 1100
Companies:
const companies = { names: ["Google", "Microsoft", "Apple"], getCompanyNames: function() { return this.names.join(", "); }, addCompany: function(name) { this.names.push(name); } }; console.log(companies.names); console.log(companies.getCompanyNames()); companies.addCompany("Amazon"); console.log(companies.names);
Explanation:
- The companies object has a property named names that contains an array of company names.
- The getCompanyNames method returns a string representation of all company names.
- The addCompany method adds a new company name to the list.
Products:
const product = { name: "Laptop", price: 999.99, available: true, applyDiscount: function(percentage) { this.price *= (1 - percentage / 100); }, checkAvailability: function() { return this.available; } };
Explanation:
- Represents a product with properties for name, price, and available.
- Has methods applyDiscount() to apply a discount to the price and checkAvailability() to check if the product is in stock.
Orders:
An object literal that represents an order with some properties and a method to display the summary.
let order = { id: 123, date: "2021-01-01", customer: "Bob", items: [ {name: "Laptop", price: 1000, quantity: 1}, {name: "Mouse", price: 20, quantity: 2}, {name: "Keyboard", price: 50, quantity: 1} ], shippingAddress: { street: "123 Main St", city: "Anytown", state: "CA", zip: "12345" }, calculateShipping: function() { // Logic to calculate shipping costs based on shipping address }, confirmOrder: function() { // Logic to process and confirm the order }, // A method to display the summary showSummary: function() { console.log("The order id is " + this.id + "."); console.log("The order date is " + this.date + "."); console.log("The customer name is " + this.customer + "."); console.log("The order items are:"); // Loop through the items array for (let item of this.items) { // Display the item details console.log(item.name + ": $" + item.price + " x " + item.quantity + " = $" + (item.price * item.quantity)); } } }; // Access the properties using dot notation or bracket notation console.log(order.id); // 123 console.log(order["date"]); // 2021-01-01 // Call the method using dot notation order.showSummary();
