Javascript add a variable in this JSON

I have the following var x = "bob" and want to put var x value into "something" 

var request = {
    "id":"2",
    "number":"12345",
    "params":[{
        "name":"bob",
        "message":"hi"
    }],
    "something": "${x}"
 }

I am new to JS and NodeJS and am stumped on how to easily do this.

you must use (dot) to change a javascript Object 

var x = 'bob';

request.something = x;

Access the key using dot(.) or square notation[]

var x = "bob"
var request = {
  "id": "2",
  "number": "12345",
  "params": [{
    "name": "bob",
    "message": "hi"
  }],
  "something": "${x}"
}
request.something = x;
console.log(request)

All you have to do is

request.something = x;
