I have the following code:

 var teste = 'objeto': {
           version: '5.x.x',
           name:this[??]  // 'objeto'
        };

What could be done for that property name has the same name of the object to which it belongs (which in this case is objeto)?

javascript syntax

  • The syntax you have is wrong, you can’t name objects that way. You can explain better what you want to do?

  • Are you sure it’s not {'objeto':{...}} instead of 'objeto':{...}?

  • That’s right, I didn’t care much for the syntax because the focus is the concept, but actually properties in string format are only accepted when inside an object

There is no special syntax to do what you want. Javascript objects have no pointer pro "father" (after all, if there was a difference if an object is stored in a table, list or variable - it would be a big headache...)

If what you want is to avoid writing the string "object" twice, something you can do is by that name in a variable and assign fields dynamically:

var myName = 'objeto';
var teste = {};
teste[myName] = {version: '5.x.x', name:myName}
