title: Accessing Nested Objects
challengeType: 1
guideUrl: 'https://www.freecodecamp.org/guide/certificates/accessing-nested-objects-in-json'
---
## Description
The sub-properties of objects can be accessed by chaining together the dot or bracket notation.
Here is a nested object:
var ourStorage = {
"desk": {
"drawer": "stapler"
},
"cabinet": {
"top drawer": {
"folder1": "a file",
"folder2": "secrets"
},
"bottom drawer": "soda"
}
};
ourStorage.cabinet["top drawer"].folder2; // "secrets"
ourStorage.desk.drawer; // "stapler"
## Instructions
Access the myStorage object and assign the contents of the glove box property to the gloveBoxContents variable. Use bracket notation for properties with a space in their name.
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: gloveBoxContents should equal "maps"
testString: assert(gloveBoxContents === "maps", 'gloveBoxContents should equal "maps"');
- text: Use dot and bracket notation to access myStorage
testString: assert(/=\s*myStorage\.car\.inside\[\s*("|')glove box\1\s*\]/g.test(code), 'Use dot and bracket notation to access myStorage');
```
## Challenge Seed
```js
// Setup
var myStorage = {
"car": {
"inside": {
"glove box": "maps",
"passenger seat": "crumbs"
},
"outside": {
"trunk": "jack"
}
}
};
var gloveBoxContents = undefined; // Change this line
```
### After Test
```js
(function(x) {
if(typeof x != 'undefined') {
return "gloveBoxContents = " + x;
}
return "gloveBoxContents is undefined";
})(gloveBoxContents);
```
## Solution
```js
var myStorage = {
"car":{
"inside":{
"glove box":"maps",
"passenger seat":"crumbs"
},
"outside":{
"trunk":"jack"
}
}
};
var gloveBoxContents = myStorage.car.inside["glove box"];
```
