How can I use a constant to call on something?

Question

When I try to add a variable into a calling on a required value. I am trying to input the constant cookieinfo in to calling on a cookie value.

const cookieinfo = "bot" + result.bot

const config = require('/Users/Owner/Downloads/RankBloxCode/config');
const bloxy = require('bloxy');
const robloxClient = new bloxy.Client({
    credentials: {
        cookie: config.cookieinfo
    }
});

//Input
result.bot = abc
//Output
output = config.botABC

Do you just want to export the constant and make it available via `require()`? — Michael M., May 14 '23 at 02:55
I have a value that I don't know but would be in the value result.info but I need to add the term bot Infront of it as that is how it is formatted in the config file. — Randomuser737373, May 14 '23 at 02:57
So if `result.bot` is "ABC", you want the line to be `cookie: config.botABC`? — Michael M., May 14 '23 at 02:59
Oh, I was trying to find a question on that already made but I couldn't find one. My bad. — Randomuser737373, May 14 '23 at 03:05
I don't blame you, I couldn't find it myself. It does exist though, there are just so many different ways people refer to this issue. — Michael M., May 14 '23 at 03:05

unless I'm misunderstanding your problem, you must use bracket notation for dynamic keys (dot notation only works with static keys).

so config.cookieinfo has to be config[cookieinfo]

I simplified this by doing: cookie: config['bot' + result.bot] – Randomuser737373 May 14 '23 at 03:16
