== Why is this an issue?

When an already-defined variable is given the same name within a new object, object-shorthand syntax is preferred as being more compact. Similarly, object-shorthand is also preferred for the definition of functions in object literals.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,javascript]
----
let a = 1;

let myObj = {
  a : a,  // Noncompliant
  fun: function () {  // Noncompliant
    //...
  }
}
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,javascript]
----
let a = 1;

let myObj = {
  a,
  fun () {
    //...
  }
}
----

Sorry [~elena.vilchik]. I thought that was a more common shorthand that it apparently is. 

RHS = right-hand side

LHS = left-hand side
