Javascript inner method do not recognise all arguments

Question

My groupId argument is not recognized on updateDoc function while other parameters are recognized. groupId is only recognized on updateUserGroups level.

async function updateUserGroups(userId, groupId, groupData) {
    const userDoc = await getDocById('users', userId)
    if (userDoc.data()['user_groups'] === undefined) {
        updateDoc('users', userId, {
            'user_groups': { groupId: groupData['creation_time'] }
        })
    }
}

Why is that?

You're using `groupId` as a literal key, not a variable. You need to write `{[groupId]: groupData['creation_time']}` — Barmar, Feb 14 '21 at 17:45

I think you meant to do:

'user_groups': { [groupId]: groupData['creation_time'] }

Instead of:

'user_groups': { groupId: groupData['creation_time'] }

Because if you don't put the [], the name of the property (the key) will just be groupId, it's name (the key) will not be equal to what is stored in groupId
