Object key name with dash

Question

I have to make an object with - like:

let myObject = {
  one-property: 'assignee'
}

but JavaScript does not allow this. So any trick to make this work with -? My whole backend has objects with - on keys.

let myObject = { 'one-property': 'assignee' } Javascript Object Keys using Special Characters must be wrapped in speech marks. — Francis Leigh, Feb 01 '18 at 16:23
^ the above is true, and you can access it with `myObject["one-property"]` — zfrisch, Feb 01 '18 at 16:24

You have to put the key in quotes

let myObject = {
  'one-property': 'assignee'
}
