ImmutableJS programatic key naming?

I want to be able to create a Map and programmatically name the index. is
this impossible because Javascript is dynamically typed and Map needs a string?

for more context in case I am missing a better pattern: i get a bunch of person objects (name, id) from server, and now initialize a profile Map. 

export function makeMap(person) {

 const profileMap = Map({
   person.id: Map({
     id: person.id,
     name: person.name,
     foo: false,
     otherthing: 5,
     favorites: Map({}),
   })
 })
Solution

  • Not totally sure what you're asking but if you want to use the value of the persons id as a key in an object it would look like:

    const { id, name } = person
const profile = {
  [id]: {
    id,
    name,
    foo: false,
    otherthing: 5,
    favorites: {}
}
