Javascript expression to define object’s property name?

I'm trying to add objects to an array, but I want to have the name and value to be dynamic. Here's an example:

    (function(){

        var data = [];



        for(i=0; i<5; i++){

            data.push({'name' + i: i});

    }



        console.log(data);

    })()

I guess I can't use a variable for the property so I'm not sure what to do.

If you want to use a dynamically named property, you need to use array access notation:

var temp = {};

temp['name' + i] = i;

data.push(temp);

_{In the IIFE:}

(function(){

    var data,

        temp,

        i;

    data = [];

    for (i = 0; i < 5; i += 1) {

        temp = {};

        temp['name' + i] = i;

        data.push(temp);

    }

    console.log(data);

}());
