8 of 22Advanced JavaScript: Object Literals
📌 What are Object Literals?
Object literals are a convenient way to create objects in JavaScript. With modern ES6 syntax, object creation is cleaner and more concise, especially when keys and variable names are the same or when using computed property names.
1️⃣ Shorthand Property Names
If the key and variable name are the same, you can omit the key name. JavaScript will automatically use the variable name as the key.
