jQuery object initialization

I'm not even quite sure what the correct vocabulary is for this, but I have the following code:

$(this).mySpecialMethod({
    propertyOne: "ValueOne",
    propertyTwo: "ValueTwo"
});

I'd like to dynamically control passing in a special propertyThree: "ValueThree" to this depending on other properties on the page/control.

How do I declare an object, add new properties to it based on my requirements and then pass it to the above specified method?

You can create an object like this:

var myObj = {
    propertyOne: "ValueOne",
    propertyTwo: "ValueTwo"
}

and then add to it as many properties as you want using the right syntax, like this:

if (/* some condition */) {
    myObj.propertyThree = "ValueThree";
}

Now you can pass the object you created to your method:

$(this).mySpecialMethod(myObj);

I suggest you to take a look at the MDN Documentation about Objects in JavaScript: you may find it helpful.

Try as follows:

var options = {
    propertyOne: "ValueOne",
    propertyTwo: "ValueTwo"
};

if (conditionIWant === true) {
    options.propertyThree = 'ValueThree';
}

$(this).mySpecialMethod(options);
