Improve this question

To be more specific, I need to essentially create an object where I can store and read values.

I'm a bit of a noob in JS, so I'm sorry if my understanding is limited. I'll give an example.

var usrobj = mainobj.id(userIDHere);
var usrplays = usrobj.plays;

Stuff like that.

But, I also would need to write to the plays value. Any ideas?? (I don't know a crap ton about JavaScript, compared to most of you)

@adrichman this question has never been questioned on SO, and the purpose of SO is to answer all of the programming questions immaginable, and SO wants to be at the top list of google searches, but how can it if it has no object declaration question? So I'd consider upvoting so he can enter the js room and we can help him out with all of the basic needs of a new Javascripter() — towc

Objects are really awesome in js because they are so simple. You can create an object as simply as:

var usrobj = {};

That is all you need. You can then add keys to it as easily as:

userobj.plays = somevalue;

And then read from it as easily as:

console.log(userobj.plays);

Hope that helps.
