javascript dot notation to bracket notation in array of objects

Question

I have an array of objects and I'm looking to use google closure. I need to convert some dot notation to bracket notation.

At the moment, I'm accessing properties in a loop like this:

TheArray[i].MyProp1;
TheArray[i].MyProp2;

When I write

TheArray[i].['MyProp1'];

it doesn't convert. How do I do this conversion to bracket notation in arrays of objects.

This issue comes up about 100x per day, there has to be a resource online that can properly describe the array-access concept to beginners. — zzzzBov

Drop the dot.

It should just be TheArray[i]['MyProp1'];

The brackets directly translate to the dot notation - you're accessing a member of the object.

TheArray[i]['MyProp1']
