Let object = {name:"somename"};
Let objectKeys = Object.keys(object);
Let totality = `${object}.${objectKeys[0]}`;
Console.log(totality);

Desired result is "somename"

I'm writing a Chrome extension that scrapes data off of a website, and exports to csv. I plan to have the user specify what fields they want to export so this isn't necessary really, but I thought it would be a fun learning experience. I don't know how to word exactly what it is I am trying to do, so research is difficult.

I'm not experiencing any errors, and this isn't as much a code snippet as it is something i quickly typed on my phone to get the idea by as to what I'm trying to do, and it is exactly the dynamic thing, thank you!

    The first thing you need to do is look at the errors your code is producing. `let` and `console` are all lower case. – Heretic Monkey Feb 06 '19 at 23:31

This works:

let object = {name:"somename"};
let objectKeys = Object.keys(object);
let totality = `${object[objectKeys[0]]}`;
console.log(totality);

Use the object['key as string'] syntax, example: {x:10}['x'] evaluates to 10.
