typescript anonymous object with variable based label value

Question

I followed this link: How do I dynamically assign properties to an object in TypeScript?

but it shows only how to handle object props names and values with long separate definition of an object. I wish to know how to do it with an "on the fly" anonymous built object of any type with no previous definition. I will show it in the following example.

can't make it to work. unfortunately it takes the variable name as the lable and not the variables value as I wish.

here is the code:

var srchTxtlabel: string = '';
if (this.labelType == '1')
    srchTxtlabel = 'srchtxt';
else if (this.labelType == '2')
    srchTxtlabel = 'subject';

this.myService.emit({
    srchTxtlabel : this.val1,
    'va2Label' : this.val2
})

Please help...

let emitObj = {};
emitObj[srchTxtlabel] = this.val1;

this.AdvancedSrchEvent.emit(emitObj)

Thank you so much for your clear and fast answer. Though I prefer this solution in my case: [srchTxtlabel] : this.val1 . but your of course works great also – I.Di Zahav Dec 13 '17 at 08:57
