How to create an object of objects in CoffeeScript? - coffeescript

Question

I am trying to create an objects which consist of other objects. I can't figure out the syntax though. I read the Little Book on CoffeeScript but it does not say what to do in this situation. I tried the following syntaxes but can't get it right:
objectOfHomes = {
{
location: "Paris Island", age: 18
}
}
objectOfHomes:
{location: "Paris Island", age: 18},
{location: "29 Palms", age: 18},
{location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 19},
{location: "Iraq", age: 20},
{location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 20},
{location: "Mesa Verda", age: 22}
objectOfHomes =
{location: "Paris Island", age: 18}
{location: "29 Palms", age: 18}
{location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 19}
{location: "Iraq", age: 20}
{location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 20}
{location: "Mesa Verda", age: 22}

Answer 1

In coffeescript you could do it like this:
objectOfHomes:
a:
location: "Paris Island"
age: 18

Answer 2

You are likely better off using an array of objects than on object of objects, unless you have a primary key of some sort which you do not appear to have.
objectOfHomes = [
{location: "Paris Island", age: 18}
{location: "29 Palms", age: 18}
{location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 19}
{location: "Iraq", age: 20}
{location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 20}
{location: "Mesa Verda", age: 22}
]

Answer 3

You need to include key values with your objects:
objectOfHomes:
a: {location: "Paris Island", age: 18}
b: {location: "29 Palms", age: 18}
c: {location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 19}
d: {location: "Iraq", age: 20}
e: {location: "Camp Lejeune", age: 20}
f: {location: "Mesa Verda", age: 22}
