How possible is it to have dynamic chrome.storage.sync.set

Question

With using the Chrome API, I am wondering how I would go about passing an array though the sync.set ability.

var itemname = ["itemid1", "itemid2", "itemid3"]
var itemvalue = ["itemval1", "itemval2", "itemval"]

for (i = 0; i < itemname.length; ++i)  {
  chrome.storage.sync.set({ itemname[i]: itemvalue [i] });
}

Information would be stored within the itemname and itemvalue which would be variables for their inner value. Now I know to a certain degree that this isn't exactly how this works, and if anyone has a possible closest working solution for storing many different pieces of information using one line rather than having multiple chrome.storage.sync.set tags cluttering the code, that would be amazing.

Use ES6 syntax or an intermediate object: [Using a variable for a key in a JavaScript object literal](//stackoverflow.com/a/2274327) — wOxxOm, May 17 '17 at 09:49

The better way is to wrap your items into a separate object and sync it once:

var itemname = ["itemid1", "itemid2", "itemid3"]
var itemvalue = ["itemval1", "itemval2", "itemval"]

var obj = {};
for (i = 0; i < itemname.length; ++i)  {
  obj[itemname[i]] = itemvalue [i]
}
storage.sync.set({ items: obj });

Thank you for your reply. How does one go about to `sync.get` these saved values? `items.itemid1` Yes? – UndefinedUsername May 17 '17 at 21:01
`chrome.storage.sync.get({ itemid1: true }); ` ? – UndefinedUsername May 17 '17 at 21:07
For it to be stored like `chrome.storage.sync.set({ itemid1: itemid1}); ` and possibly not need two arrays, but have a single one. – UndefinedUsername May 17 '17 at 21:09
And these are individual store items. Not storing one whole array together. – UndefinedUsername May 17 '17 at 21:16
@UndefinedUsername yeap, you can get them using `chrome.storage.sync.get('items', function(res) { res.items.itemid1 });` – Denis L May 18 '17 at 04:31
