Add an item/value inside object javascript

Question

How i add an item inside object in array?

My array(res.users):

{userName: "name", email: "[email protected]"}

I want:

{userName: "name", email: "[email protected]", access: "admin"}

I tried:

array.push(Object.assign(res.users, {'access': 'admin' }))

My return:

[
    {userName: "name", email: "[email protected]"},
    access: 'admin'
]

Demo:

const res = {userName: "name", email: "[email protected]"}, array = [];
array.push(Object.assign(res, {'access': 'admin'}))
console.log( array )

Edit: res.users is an array, i had written wrong

I'm guessing `res.users` is not actually the object you're showing, but rather an array, like `[{userName: "name", email: "[email protected]"}]` — Heretic Monkey, Apr 28 '20 at 17:40
`res.users` appears to be an array, so not what you think it is. Or what you said “my object” was, anyway. — Ry-, Apr 28 '20 at 17:40
Your code seems to work fine as seen in the demo if `res.users` is actually an object as you have mentioned. — palaѕн, Apr 28 '20 at 17:45
Not according to what you posted. It's an object. Arrays in JavaScript have numeric indexes. — Pointy, Apr 28 '20 at 17:58

Just use obj.access = "admin":

let obj = {userName: "name", email: "[email protected]"}

obj.access = "admin"

console.log(obj)
