Question

I often am doing something like this:

t={};
t.args={};

and then assigning variables like t.args.id=12. Can I make the above a one-liner?

Answer 1

What about something like:

var t = { args: { id: 12 } };

This will be accessible with:

t.args.id;

If you don’t want to specify the inner-attributes of t.args during initialization (i.e. – id), you could just as easily go with t = { args: {} } as well. Then use t.args.id = 12 will still work just-the-same.
