Getting string from variable (from imported JS) as key in object
You can use es6 computed properties:
obj: { [cons.FILENAMEA]: {}, [cons.FILENAMEB]: { children: [ cons.CHILDFILENAME1, cons.CHILDFILENAME2, cons.CHILDFILENAME3 ] }}
The expression inside the brackets will be evaluated and used as the property name
An alternative to @Dan's answer is to declare the object before hand and add the key/value pairs to it
export default { data () { const obj = {} obj[cons.FILENAMEA] = {} obj[cons.FILENAMEB] = { children: [ cons.CHILDFILENAME1, cons.CHILDFILENAME2, cons.CHILDFILENAME3 ] } return { cons: cons, obj } } }
