bookIntroduction to Objects

Objects are fundamental in JavaScript for representing complex, structured data. Unlike primitives such as string or number, objects allow you to group related information together under a single variable. This makes them ideal for modeling real-world entities, such as user profiles or products in an online store. For example:

  • A user profile might include a user's name, age, and email, all stored as properties within one object;
  • A product could have a title, price, and availability status, making it easy to manage and access related data as a single unit.

// Creating an object to represent a user profile const user = { name: "Alex", age: 30, email: "alex@example.com" }; // Accessing properties console.log(user.name); // Output: Alex // Modifying a property user.age = 31; console.log(user.age); // Output: 31
copy

You can access object properties using dot notation, such as user.name, or bracket notation, like user["email"]. To update a property, assign a new value to it, for example: user.age = 31. Objects are flexible, allowing you to add, remove, or change properties as needed, which is especially useful for modeling entities whose characteristics might change over time.
