Different Ways To Create Object In Javascript

Here are the different ways to create Javascript object.

Using object constructor.

By letting values/keys get decided later in the code

var data = {};
data.first_name = 'John';
data.last_name = 'doe';
data.email = '[email protected]';

Using object literals.

By setting up values/keys up front while declaring the object

var data = {
  data.first_name = 'John',
  data.last_name = 'doe',
  data.email = '[email protected]'
  };

Note: we may extend that for a more OO way so that we could template objects.
In example, by using data as a function and calling new on it for every object.

function datum(first_name, last_name, email) 
{
  this.first_name = first_name,
  this.last_name = last_name,
  this.email = email
}
data =new datum(first_name, last_name, email);

Third Way:

This way is similar to the first one, but a bit more dynamic

var data = {};
data['first_name'] = 'John';
data['last_name'] = 'doe';
data['email'] = '[email protected]';

In example: if we have dynamic property name we may do

function datum(first_property, second_property, third_property, val1, val2, val3)
{
  var data = {};
  data[first_property] = val1;
  data[second_property] = val2;
  data[third_property] = val3;
  return data;
};
data = datum(first_name, last_name, email, 'John', 'doe', '[email protected]');
