Hi I have an object that I have filled from data in a CSV file.
One of my ids is called "Disk_Usage(MB)"
I try using my object.Disk_Usage(MB) but receive an error because javascript thinks disk usage is a function and that MB is a variable.
I receive a reference error on the console saying MB is not defined.
Use array/bracket notation:
var propertyValue = yourObject['Disk_Usage(MB)']; If you're wondering why you need to do this and/or "but my object isn't an array!," I would suggest having a read through the "Working with objects" article over at MDN.
Although object member access can be performed like this:
var o = { 'abc': 123 }; console.log(o.abc); it is often more convenient to use array-bracket notation:
console.log(o['abc']); This is one of those times when you must do so, since your key has characters in it that make it an illegal identifier. You must provide it as a string.
Personally, as a matter of consistency, I try to stick to the array-bracket notation all the time.
