When you create the object this is the context in which the object is created, and not object itself (since it doesn't exist yet). Use a getter to compute the value.

let test = {
 id:1,
 get name() { return this.id }
}

let test2 = {
 id:1,
 get name() { return `hello, ${this.id}` }
}

console.log(test)
console.log(test2);
