I have a code saved in string. For eg:
const code = "res.send("Hi")";
How can I execute the above code in JS? I wanna execute the code of the code variable.
I can't just write code;. The code doesn't execute. Please Help.

    eval(code) - but be careful, that is risky. Commented Jun 19, 2022 at 18:07

    Sounds like an XY problem. Why do you need this? What is the context? Commented Jun 19, 2022 at 18:08

    Then use a loop to chain the .to() so you don't have to use a string. Having it in a string is not the way to go here. Commented Jun 19, 2022 at 18:28

    @Ivar Thats a good way to do it. I'll use it instead of combining in string. Commented Jun 19, 2022 at 18:35
