Summary
In this blog post, we will explore how to work with objects in Apps Script. Objects are a fundamental data type in JavaScript and are used to store key-value pairs. We will learn how to define and access object properties, as well as how to create and manipulate objects in our Apps Script projects.

let obj = { key1: 'value1', key2: 'value2', key3: 'value3' } |
Code Explanation
Here, we have created an object named obj with three key-value pairs. Each key represents a property name, and its corresponding value represents the value of that property. In this example, we have three properties: key1, key2, and key3, with their respective values 'value1', 'value2', and 'value3'.
Example
Let’s say we want to access the value of key2 in our obj object. We can do so by using the dot notation:
|
1 |
console.log(obj.key2); // Output: 'value2' |
