How to append an object in javascript?

Question

I have a question on how to build an object structure in java script. I would like to have an object built in the following format:

select1Data = {
"[email protected]" : "fname1 lname1",
"[email protected]" : "fname2 lname2",
"[email protected]" : "fname3 lname3"
};

The code I use is as follows:

$.ajax({
    method: "POST",
    url: "php/somescript.php",
    data: {"email": "[email protected]"},
}).done(function( data ) {
        var result = $.parseJSON(data);
        let select1Data = { null: null };
        if (result!== null){
                var len = result.length;
                for(var i=0; i<len; i++){
                        userName = result[i].imie + " " + result[i].nazwisko;
                        eMail = result[i].email;
                        let selectNewData = {eMail : userName};
                        Object.assign(select1Data, selectNewData);
                };
        
            }
        });

but this does not work. How can I append or build in another way this object?

Answer 1

the line

let selectNewData = {eMail : userName};

will not do what you hope it do and is equivalent to {"eMail": userName}.

try:

let selectNewData = {};
selectNewData[eMail] = userName;
