Ways to Create Objects
Posted on September 16, 2020 in JavaScript by Matt Jennings

• Object literal
• Dot notation
• Object.create

  // Create an empty object
  const user3 = Object.create(null); // const user3 = {};

• Generate an Object with a Function (not a good idea!)

  function userCreator(name, score) {
    const newUser = {};
    newUser.name = name;
    newUser.score = score;
    newUser.increment = function() {
      newUser.score++;
    }
  
    return newUser;
  }
  
  const user1 = userCreator("Phil", 4);
  user1.increment();
  console.log(user1.score); // 5
