Javascript Object enumeration syntax -

this question has answer here:

i have object:

var state = {   waiting: 1,   ready: 2 }

and object getting texts state:

var language = {   states: {     waiting: "waiting..",     ready: "ready!"   } }

i want text directly state this:

var state = state.ready;  var statustext = language.states[state];

for work need, like, illegal syntax:

var language = {   states: {     state.waiting: "waiting..",     state.ready: "ready!"   } }

but doesn't work, can use text state variable?

no, don't. make values sensible instead of magic numbers. in case, make them use strings map key names other object(s) use, , done:

var states = {   waiting: "waiting",   ready: "ready" }  var language = {   states: {     waiting: "waiting..",     ready: "ready!"   } }

voila:

var state = states.waiting; var label = language.states[state]

and if state numbers mean something, make lookup them, too:

var responsecodes = {   "0": "waiting",   "1": "reading",   "403": "forbidden",   ... }

and chain lookups:

... var responsecode = whatever(); var state = responsecodes[responsecode]; var label = language.state[state]; ...
