Add Javascript Object to Javascript Object

Question

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.

Accepted Answer

var jsonIssues = []; // new Array
jsonIssues.push( { ID:1, "Name":"whatever" } );
// "push" some more here

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

// Merge object2 into object1, recursively

$.extend( true, object1, object2 );

// Merge object2 into object1

$.extend( object1, object2 );

Answer 5

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{}
    }

Answer 6

jsonIssues = [...jsonIssues,{ID:'3',Name:'name 3',Notes:'NOTES 3'}]
