I thought i understanded the difference on .obj and ["obj"], but apparently i don't fully understand.

If you look at the screenshot. I can easily check on:

self.response.status == "success"[/code:39prnqmf]
That works without problems.
But i can't do:
[code:39prnqmf]self.errors = self.response.errors[/code:39prnqmf]
Even if it does exist. So if i use:
[code:39prnqmf]self.errors = self.response["errors"][/code:39prnqmf]
It works..

Can anyone explain this behavior ?

EDIT 1:
[code:39prnqmf]self.data = self.response.data[/code:39prnqmf]
This line is working too, for some reason.

EDIT 2:
I found out that i had to do like this to get it to totally work:
[code:39prnqmf]self["errors"] = self.response["errors"][/code:39prnqmf]

In terms of the Javascript language, object.property and object["property"] are identical.

In terms of the minifier, when exporting with "minify script" enabled, object.property will be renamed to something shorter by the minifier, e.g. object.q. However object["property"] will not be renamed. So you should use object["property"] syntax for anything that should not be renamed by the minifier.
