I have an object

args.e = 'asset' 

const entitySettings = {
  asset: {
    version: "1-0-0"
  }
}

I want to reference this in another object e.g.

entitySettings.args[e].version

But I get an error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'e' of undefined

args.e definitely has a value. How can I use this within the property reference to eventually translate to entitySettings.asset.version and ultimately to 1-0-0 ?

`const args.e = 'asset' ` is invalid syntax... – CertainPerformance Apr 08 '19 at 01:16
`args.e` might be defined but `args` is not part of `entitySettings` – Phil Apr 08 '19 at 01:19

Use `entitySettings[args.e]` – Jack Bashford Apr 08 '19 at 01:22
