I was trying to create an object, where it would be nice (and save me some typing and duplication), if I could reference the value's key name inside the declaration, e.g. something like below:

const object = {
  "keyNameA": doSomething(`${this values' key name}`), //i.e. doSomething("keyNameA")
  "keyNameB": doSomething(`${this values' key name}`)  //i.e. doSomething("keyNameB")
}

Question is: Is that something that can be achieved in JS with an object literal declaration?

Thank you in advance!

(I know that with a constructor function you can probably achieve the above, this is mainly about the question, if it is possible via object literal as well, somehow)

    No, that's not possible. You could take an array of key names, map it to `[key, value]` pairs and create the object via `Object.fromEntries`. – Felix Kling Jan 11 '23 at 08:20
