This post is a corrected post after AI explains the code included in the book “Google Apps Script 101: Building Work Automation For Free”<\/a>. Added a strikethrough<\/s> when editing what AI has written, and added color<\/span> when edited by author<\/p>\n

Summary<\/h2>\n

In this blog post, we will explore how to work with objects in Apps Script. We will learn how to access object properties using dot notation and square brackets, as well as dynamically accessing properties using variables.<\/p>\n

Code<\/h2>\n
function myObject() {\n  let obj = {\n    key1: 'value1',\n    key2: 'value2',\n    key3: 'value3'\n  }\n\n  Logger.log(obj.key1)\n  Logger.log(obj['key1'])\n\n  let keyName = 'key1'\n  Logger.log(obj[keyName])\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
Code Explanation<\/h2>\n
The code declares a function named myObject<\/code>. Inside the function, an object obj<\/code> is created with three key-value pairs.<\/p>\n
The Logger.log<\/code> statements are used to print the value of the key1<\/code> property of the obj<\/code> object. The property value can be accessed using both dot notation and square brackets.<\/p>\n
A variable keyName<\/code> is declared and assigned the value 'key1'<\/code>. The value of the keyName<\/code> variable is then used to access the key1<\/code> property of the obj<\/code> object.<\/p>\n
Example<\/h2>\n
When the myObject<\/code> function is executed, the following values will be logged in the Apps Script Logger:<\/p>\n
value1\nvalue1\nvalue1<\/code><\/pre>\n
AI Prompt<\/h2>\n
Write a function that creates an object with three key-value pairs. Log the value of the first key using both dot notation and square brackets. Use a variable to dynamically access the value of the first key.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
