Adding elements to object

Question

I need to populate a json file, now I have something like this:

{\"element\":{\"id\":10,\"quantity\":1}}

And I need to add another \"elemen

Answer 1

If the cart has to be stored as an object and not array (Although I would recommend storing as an []) you can always change the structure to use the ID as the key:

var element = { quantity: quantity };
cart[id] = element;

This allows you to add multiple items to the cart like so:

cart["1"] = { quantity: 5};
cart["2"] = { quantity: 10};

// Cart is now:
// { "1": { quantity: 5 }, "2": { quantity: 10 } }
