Reference a javascript property with a dynamic name

Question

I\'m using Vue.js and I am wondering how I can call a javascript property in a dynamic way. Let\'s say I pass an argument to a function like this:

filter: functi         


        

Answer 1

The answer is yes.

var name = "itemsToFilter";
var myArray = eval("this." + name);

// use myArray

You can also add a safety check so you don't call splice on undefined

if (typeof myArray != 'undefined') {
    myArray.splice(index, 1)
}
