Declare property name from string

Question

I have this

oArray = {};
aProperty = "Property1";
aValue = "Value1";

Is there any way I can use aProperty value as a object name in the array? This is the desired result:

oArray = {
  Property1: "Value1"
};

Thanks in advance and regards

Use `oArray = {[aProperty]: aValue}`. This is called a [computed property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer#New_notations_in_ECMAScript_2015). — CRice, Aug 27 '20 at 16:33
It worked, thanks a mil. The IDE was complaining about the syntax but in the end it executed without problems — Majut Bamkbar, Aug 27 '20 at 16:49

It is as simple as below.

var oArray = {};
var aProperty = "Property1";
var aValue = "Value1";

oArray[aProperty] = aValue;
console.log(oArray)
