Hey,

I'm trying to get this working:

var objectone = {
	"id":"bestidever"
}

var objecttwo = {
	"bestidever":[{
		"myValue":"print me!"
	}]
}

console.log(objecttwo[objectone.id].myValue)

but it doesn't work? can someone help me?

You missed = in objecttwo

var objecttwo = {

"bestidever":[{

....

}]

}

ah, didn't see that, but i tried it, and it doesn't solve the problem

have adjusted the original post

well you use your obj2 like an array of objects (name[array].object), use it like name.object[array].

you mean? because that wouldn't work

console.log(myValue.objecttwo[objectone.id])

Your program is strange.

In theory this would work:

objecttwo.(objectone.id)["myValue"];

    ^                  ^                     ^

original obj       |                      |

                 obj's field                |

                                        field - array

use . to access to obj's field like cat.name

use [] to access array's value like cats[myCat]

combine them as you want like cats[myCat].name or myCat.friends['Kolly']

can write some code that would do what i want?

I think accessing object's field via another object is impossible. Check W3 manual.

Your bestidever in objecttwo is an array so you need to put the index you wish to access.

var objectone = {
	"id":"bestidever"
}
var objecttwo = {
	"bestidever":[{"myValue":"print me!"}]
}
var item = objecttwo[objectone.id]
console.log(item[0].myValue) //displays print me!

or if you want it in one line

console.log(objecttwo[objectone.id][0].myValue)

 

I'm not exactly sure what you're planning to use this for but hope this helped
