How to assign multiple values to a JavaScript object?

rated 0 times [ 154] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 20648 / 10 Years ago, sat, march 1, 2014, 12:00:00

Say that I have an object with key/value pair as the following:

var someVar = {

    color: white,

    font_size: 30px,

    font_weight: normal

...some more variables and functions

};

Is there a way to do a multiple assignment to those keys instead of having to do something like this:

someVar.color = blue;

someVar.font_size = 30px;

...

You could loop through another object:

var thingsToAdd = {

    color: blue,

    font_size: 30px

};

for (var x in thingsToAdd) someVar[x] = thingsToAdd[x];

Or, you could use with (WARNING: this is ALMOST CERTAINLY a bad idea! See the link. I am only posting this for educational purposes; you should almost never use with in production code!):

with (someVar) {

    color = blue;

    font_size = 30px;

}
