Question

How could I set the value of an item in a json object by passing in the name of it via a parameter to a function?

eg:

this.loadStates = function() {
    that.setStateIfExists('inStock', true);
}

this.setStateIfExists = function (param, option) {
    // i'd like this to be 'that.selectedFinderOptions.inStock = option'
    that.selectedFinderOptions.param = option;  
}

Is this even possible or should I be thinking of doing this differently?

Answer 1

Use an indexer:

that.selectedFinderOptions[param] = option;
