Javascript Array inside Array - how can I call the child array name?

Question

Here is the example of what I am doing:

   var size = new Array("S", "M", "L", "XL", "XXL");
   var color =          


        

Answer 1

There is no way to know that the two members of the options array came from variables named size and color.

They are also not necessarily called that exclusively, any variable could also point to that array.

var notSize = size;

console.log(options[0]); // It is `size` or `notSize`?

One thing you can do is use an object there instead...

var options = {
    size: size,
    color: color
}

Then you could access options.size or options.color.
