how do i use object values as another objects keys in js? [duplicate]

Question

Say i have this object:

const element = {
    name: 'first_name',
    value: 'Joe Blow',
}

how do i use element.name as the key and element.value to construct another object?

for example, i've tried this:

const data = {
    element.name: element.value,
}

above example does not work.

got it using es6 computed properties:

const data = {
    [element.name]: element.value,
}
