Question

A Javascript object can be used as an associative array.
So my question is how can I automatically set that multiple key’s with the same ending match one value?

I’ll write an example to be more explicit on what I want.
Something like this:

var handle = {}
handle[*css] = handlers.style;

Every key that ends with “css” should be matched to handlers.style.

Any way to doing this?

PD: Im doing this with server-side javascript with NodeJS

This is possible if you iterate through the object properties and check that the property name matches the desired pattern. Something like:

for (var i in obj) {
  if (i.toString().substr(-3) === 'css') {
    obj[i] = handlers.style;
  }
}
