Summary: Objects

Key points

• Objects have properties that contain information about the object and methods that are actions the object can perform.

• Object literals in JavaScript are a collection of key–value pairs placed inside curly braces ( {} ) and separated by commas.

• Properties can be strings, numbers, Booleans or arrays.

• Methods are stored as functions.

• An object’s properties and methods can be accessed using either dot notation or square bracket notation.

• Objects are mutable, which means that their properties and methods can be changed or removed (even if they’re created using const.)

• Nested objects can be created by placing objects inside objects.

• The keyword this can be used in properties and methods to refer to the object itself.
