As `text` is defined as a variable, you can use it as both the name and value in the object without needing to define it twice. This came with ES6, and is sometimes referred to as "shorthand property names"

How does it know that it has to update value of 'text' key and not the other ones? Or if the 'text' word in your answer refers to the key, where are we passing the value 'text'? I guess I am missing some fundamental understanding of how it works
