I have following string:
var attrs = "FNAME=abraham,LNAME=lincoln,COUNTRY=USA,JOB=PRESIDENT"
and want to convert it to key value object like below using jQuery.
attrs = {
FName:abraham,
LName:lincoln,
COUNTRY:USA,
JOB:PRESIDENT
}
you can make use of split and create object, see below
var attrs = "FNAME=abraham,LNAME=lincoln,COUNTRY=USA,JOB=PRESIDENT";
var values = attrs.split(",");
var obj = {};
for(var i=0; i<values.length; i++) {
var keyValue = values[i].split("=");
obj[keyValue[0]] = keyValue[1];
}
console.log(obj);
$(document).ready(function() {
var attrs = "FNAME=abraham,LNAME=lincoln,COUNTRY=USA,JOB=PRESIDENT"
var keysValuesArray = attrs.split(',');
// keysValuesArray = ["FNAME=abraham", "LNAME=lincoln", "COUNTRY=USA", "JOB=PRESIDENT"]
var attrsObject = {};
for (var i = keysValuesArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var keyValueArray = keysValuesArray[i].split('=');
// Ex: keyValueArray = ["JOB", "PRESIDENT"]
attrsObject[keyValueArray[0]] = keyValueArray[1];
}
console.log(attrsObject);

.split(",") to separate your key=value elements,.forEach() to go through all your elements, with .split("=") to separate your keys and values.Working snippet:
var attrs = "FNAME=abraham,LNAME=lincoln,COUNTRY=USA,JOB=PRESIDENT";
var keys_vals = attrs.split(",");
var obj = {};
keys_vals.forEach(function(key_val) {
var [key, val] = key_val.split("=");
obj[key] = val;
});
console.log(obj);You could even use some deconstructing:
var attrs = "FNAME=abraham,LNAME=lincoln,COUNTRY=USA,JOB=PRESIDENT";
var obj = {};
attrs.split(",").forEach(function(key_val) {
var [key, val] = key_val.split("=");
obj[key] = val;
});
console.log(obj);A ES6 flavoured answer :)
const attrs = 'FNAME=abraham,LNAME=lincoln,COUNTRY=USA,JOB=PRESIDENT';
var obj = {};
attrs.split(',').forEach((el) => {
const [key, value] = el.split('=')
obj[key] = value;
})
console.log(obj);
