Can I write an if statement within a Javascript object when setting an attribute?

Question

Setting attributeTwo using an if statement. What is the correct way to do this?

var testBoolean = true;

var object = {
  attributeOne: \"attributeOne\",
  a         


        

Answer 1

You can't use an if statement directly, but you can use ternary operator (aka conditional operator) which behaves the way you want. Here is how it would look:

var testBoolean = true;

var object = {
  attributeOne: "attributeOne",
  attributeTwo: testBoolean ? "attributeTwo" : "attributeTwoToo"
}
