javascript append to object

1// Spread syntax allows an iterable (in this case an object) to be expanded
2
3const originalObj = { name: 'John', age: 34 }
4let newObj = { ...originalObj, city: 'New York' }
5// newObj is now { name: 'John', age: 34, city: 'New York' }
6
7// it can also be used with the same object
8newObj = { ...newObj, language: 'en' }
9// { name: 'John', age: 34, city: 'New York', language: 'en' }

1How about storing the alerts as records in an array instead of properties of a single object ?
2
3var alerts = [ 
4    {num : 1, app:'helloworld',message:'message'},
5    {num : 2, app:'helloagain',message:'another message'} 
6]
7And then to add one, just use push:
8
9alerts.push({num : 3, app:'helloagain_again',message:'yet another message'});

1var alerts = [ 
2    {num : 1, app:'helloworld',message:'message'},
3    {num : 2, app:'helloagain',message:'another message'} 
4]
5

1alerts.push({num : 3, app:'helloagain_again',message:'yet another message'});
