Object "Nesting"?

August 19, 2023

I want to use an object in nodejs to store url paths, and reuse a previous entry for example:

let URLS = {
  root: "www.example.com",
  paths: {
    user: root + "/user",
    login: root + "/login"
  } 
}

is there a way to achieve this?

>Solution :

You cannot access URLS.root before the object is created, but you can define a separated variable root and use that in multiple places in the URLS object:

const root = "www.example.com";

const URLS = {
  root,
  paths: {
    user: root + "/user",
    login: root + "/login"
  } 
}

console.log(URLS)

In the example above, the root property is defined using a shorthand property names instead of writing the property name and the property value separately (e.g. { root: root }).
