Lodash if else one line

Question

I have this forEach function that loops over a const object, but I want to do an if else in one line but I'm not sure how. This is how I'm doing it now.

const object = {
(Name ? (Name: _.get(object, 'abc'))), : (OtherName ? (OtherName: _.get(object, 'abc'))),
}

Answer 1

I'm not sure why you want this, but you can use square brackets with a ternary operator to dynamically select the key:

 const _ = { get: (o,t) => "answer" } // mock lodash const Name = null // makes it choose OtherName (non-null for Name) let object = null object = { [Name? "Name": "OtherName"]: _.get(object, 'abc') } console.log(object) // or maybe this? const OtherName = "something" object = { Name: Name? _.get(object, 'abc'): OtherName } console.log(object)

Answer 2

I think this may be what you want:

cons object = {
    [ Name || OtherName ]: _.get(object, 'abc')
};

If Name is not falsey it will be used as the property name, otherwise OtherName will be used.

Putting [] around the key of a property literal calculates the property name dynamically from the enclosed expression.
