"Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid shorthand property initializer" - This is a common error we get while creating JavaScript object. Here I demonstrate the quick fix for this issue.

Below screenshot shows "Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid shorthand property initializer" issue:

From the above screenshot, we have assigned a value to id using = operator. We should assign value to its properties is using : (colon).

Change the = to : to fix the error.

var user2 = { id : 2, firstName : 'John', lastName : 'Cena', emailId : 'john@gmail.com', age : 29 }

Complete example:

// using Object Literals var user1 = { id : 1, firstName : 'Ramesh', lastName : 'Fadatare', emailId : 'ramesh@gmail.com', age : 29 } var user2 = { id : 2, firstName : 'John', lastName : 'Cena', emailId : 'john@gmail.com', age : 29 } // we have an array of objects, we want to remove one object using only the id property var users = [user1, user2]; console.log('Before removing object from an array -> ' + JSON.stringify(users)); // get index of object with id:37 var removeIndex = users.map(function(item) { return item.id; }).indexOf(37); // remove object users.splice(removeIndex, 1); console.log('After removing object from an array -> ' + JSON.stringify(users));

Output:

Before removing object from an array -> [{"id":1,"firstName":"Ramesh","lastName":"Fadatare","emailId":"ramesh@gmail.com","age":29},{"id":2,"firstName":"John","lastName":"Cena","emailId":"john@gmail.com","age":29}] After removing object from an array -> [{"id":1,"firstName":"Ramesh","lastName":"Fadatare","emailId":"ramesh@gmail.com","age":29}]
