Properties 12.2

Hi,

I think you guys mean "Use bracket notation [] when accessing properties with a function," at 12.2 in the airbnb style guide. Right now it says "Use bracket notation [] when accessing properties with a variable."

I'm not sure what you mean by "with a function" - how is obj[variableContainingKeyName] using a function?

I think the difference between 12.1 and 12.2 is that the 12.2 example occurs within a function:

function getProp(prop) {
  return luke[prop];
}

The rule is referring to bracket notation regardless of context; that it’s a function is irrelevant.

Ok, I get it.
