JavaScript declare an array of objects | Example code

  • by

Use object literals in an array literal to declare an array of objects in JavaScript.

var sample = [{}, {}, {} /*, ... */];

Creating an array is as simple as this:

var cups = [];

You can create a populated array like this:

var cups = [
    {
        color:'Blue'
    },
    {
        color:'Green'
    }
];

You can add more items to the array like this:

cups.push({
    color:"Red"
});

Initialize an Array of Objects in JavaScript

Use the fill() method to initialize an array of objects, e.g. new Array(2).fill({key: 'value'}). The Array() constructor creates an array of a specified length and the fill() method sets the elements in an array to the provided value and returns the result.

const arr1 = new Array(2).fill({key: 'value'});

// 👇️ [{key: 'value'}, {key: 'value'}]
console.log(arr1);

    console.log(cups)
  </script>

</body>
</html> 

Output:
