Convert string to variable name in JavaScript

Question

I’ve looked for solutions, but couldn’t find any that work.

I have a variable called onlyVideo.

\"onlyVideo\" the string gets passe

Answer 1

It can be done like this

(function(X, Y) {
  
  // X is the local name of the 'class'
  // Doo is default value if param X is empty
  var X = (typeof X == 'string') ? X: 'Doo';
  var Y = (typeof Y == 'string') ? Y: 'doo';
  
  // this refers to the local X defined above
  this[X] = function(doo) {
    // object variable
    this.doo = doo || 'doo it';
  }
  // prototypal inheritance for methods
  // defined by another
  this[X].prototype[Y] = function() {
    return this.doo || 'doo';
  };
  
  // make X global
  window[X] = this[X];
}('Dooa', 'dooa')); // give the names here

// test
doo = new Dooa('abc');
doo2 = new Dooa('def');
console.log(doo.dooa());
console.log(doo2.dooa());
