Get data from object where value name has a space

Question

For example, I can get this to return the right city with my data:

console.log(selected_things[0].City);

However, I need to actually get the zip code, but this doesn't work.

console.log(selected_things[0].Zip Code);

How do you handle this where the value name has a space in it?

Answer 1

use the square bracket notation again with a string literal

console.log(selected_things[0]["Zip Code"]);

All properties of an object can be accessed by the dot notation followed by the name or the square bracket notation with a string as the indexer.

The caveat is when the attribute name is an invalid identifier and therefore must be accessed with square bracket notation.
