How to access these parameters of this object?

Question

How would I access the value of statusCode for example?

{
    res: IncomingMessage {
      statusCode: 200,
      statusMessage: '',
    }
}

@newprogrammer please update your questions with details, and that piece of code does not represent valid JavaScript. — M0nst3R, Jul 02 '20 at 14:28

It depends on the initial object.

If outer brackets is valid then you can access it like property name:

object.res.statusCode

or you can do it by propertyName:

object['res']['statusCode']

If outer brackets is not valid and you wrote them just for wrapping up. Then you can access status code the same way, just without mentioning res.

I always get 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'statusCode' of undefined' – newprogrammer Jul 02 '20 at 14:08

Optional Chaining.

Not widely supported in older browsers:

data?.res?.statusCode

Using dot notation:

data.res && data.res.statusCode;

Using property access notation:

data['res'] && data['res']['statusCode']

Using ternary operator:

data['res'] ? data["res"]["statusCode"] : -1

JSONObject.res.statusCode is a correct approach.

In case that you have something like this (Replace JSONObject with the name of your JSON) :

 let JSONObject = {
        res: IncomingMessage {
          statusCode: 200,
          statusMessage: ''
        }
    }

You can't have a JSON Object... JSON is a string notation – Liam Jul 02 '20 at 14:05

Yes...That is what JSON means... It's still not an object. **Notation** as in text – Liam Jul 02 '20 at 14:06

Your Object structure is wrong maybe you meant this

ob={ res:{ IncomingMessage :{ statusCode: 200,statusMessage: ''}}}
console.log(ob.res.IncomingMessage.statusCode)
