Is it possible to use function input to create a variable name?

Question

Pretty sure that my title is misleading... Oh well. So basically, I'm trying to create a game and I have a bunch of arrays with names like ItemsInG5Array, ItemsInB2Array where G5 and B2 are nodes of the map. So, what I'm trying to do is to create a function that will give you a list of items in one specific node where the player is.

function options(location) 
locationPickups: while(true) {
pick = prompt("There are few items laying around.\n" + itemsInG6Array + "\nWould ou like to pick something up?");
...

Where location is the name of the node. Is there anything simple I can put instead of ItemsInG6Array to make it dynamic, to make it change depending on the location variable. ItemsIn(location)Array

Answer 1

The typical solution here is to have an object with keys, and then dynamically pick one of those keys.

const example = {
  itemsInG6Array: [],
  itemsInB2Array: [],
}

function options(location) {
  const key = 'itemsIn' + location + 'Array';
  const items = example[key];
  const pick = prompt("There are few items laying around.\n" + items + "\nWould ou like to pick something up?");
}
