Add items to object inside a function

I have the following javascript code/object:

    config = function(key) {
        props = {
            svgWidth: 500,
            svgHeight: 500,
            userUploadImgWidth: 1115,
            userUploadImgHeight: 528,
        };
        return props[key];
    }

I'd like to add to the probs object with additional key value pairs, creating something like this:

    config = function(key) {
        props = {
            svgWidth: 500,
            svgHeight: 500,
            userUploadImgWidth: 1115,
            userUploadImgHeight: 528,
            scaledDimensions: {
              scaleWidth: 500,
              scaleWidth: 232
            }
        };
        return props[key];
    }

I can seem to access the props object inside the function, it will return values using config('userUploadImgWidth') but I want to add new items to the object and just can't figure out the syntax.

Making a function out of that is utterly unnecessary. Are you sure you are not over-engineering something really trivial?

What's wrong with

config = {
    svgWidth: 500,
    svgHeight: 500,
    userUploadImgWidth: 1115,
    userUploadImgHeight: 528,
    scaledDimensions: {
        scaleWidth: 500,
        scaleWidth: 232
    }
}

and later.

something = config.userUploadImgWidth;
