in CoffeeScript, how can I use a variable as a key in a hash?

Question

eg:

So:

foo = \"asdf\"
{foo: \"bar\"}
eval foo

# how do I g         


        

Answer 1

Why are you using eval at all? You can do it exactly the same way you'd do it in JavaScript:

foo    = 'asdf'
h      = { }
h[foo] = 'bar'

That translates to this JavaScript:

var foo, h;
foo = 'asdf';
h = {};
h[foo] = 'bar';

And the result is that h looks like {'asdf': 'bar'}.
