How to write an if statement using dot notation?

I'm having a hard time with the whole language of javascript period, so could anyone give me a hand on this objective?

object.js 
const player1 = {
    name: 'Ashley',
    color: 'purple',
    isTurn: true,
    play: function(){
    console.log('');
    }
}

console.log();
console.log(purple);

Hi,

if you wanted to log the name of player1 for instance you would write:

console.log(player1.name);

An if statement would look like:

if(player1.name === 'Ashley') {
     console.log('Hello Ash!');
}

Hope that helps.
