is this data coming from a restful API? if not what is the source, cause you can send a json object from a restful api directly so when you receive the response its already and object — d0rf47

You can first parse the string into an object by wrapping the string in curly braces and using JSON.parse.

Then, you can split the resulting object's socials property by a comma, split each individual item by a colon (with map), then use Object.fromEntries:

const str = `"socials": "Whatsapp_phone: 3413536723,Instagram: agusmac1,Linkedin: agusmac,Facebook: agusmac40"`

const obj = JSON.parse('{' + str + '}')
obj.socials = Object.fromEntries(obj.socials.split(",").map(e => e.split(":")))

console.log(obj)

If you want the value to be trimmed, you can use String.trim():

const str = `"socials": "Whatsapp_phone: 3413536723,Instagram: agusmac1,Linkedin: agusmac,Facebook: agusmac40"`

const obj = JSON.parse('{' + str + '}')
obj.socials = Object.fromEntries(obj.socials.split(",").map(e => (arr = e.split(":"), arr[1] = arr[1].trim(), arr)))

console.log(obj)
