What does it mean when a function is written like "name: function ()"?

I just have a super quick question about JavaScript so I’m not going to follow the general formatting of a question like usual.

I’m trying to understand some code in JavaScript, and the person who wrote it used a method that I’m not familiar with. As you see in the title, they’ve written it by typing the name of the function followed by a colon first, and then writing the actual function.

Example: myFunction: function () {}

Is anyone able to tell me what this means, why it’s done, and what it accomplishes?

>Solution :

It is part of Object Methods like:

const person = {
  myFunction: function() {}
};

you can invoke myfunction by using person.myFunction()
