Sorry, a little new to this. But I am trying to achieve the following. I have this (the fullName string is returned from a webapp UI using selenium webdriverIO):
const fullName = "Mr Jason Biggs";
And need it to look like this:
title: 'Mr',
name: 'Jason',
surname: 'Biggs',
I tried splitting the name, but not sure how to add a k to the v
const splitName = fullName.split(" ");
// But returns as [ 'Mr', 'Jason', 'Biggs' ]
Just create a new object and assign those splitted parts to its keys:
const fullName = "Mr Jason Biggs";
const splitName = fullName.split(" "),
object = {
title: splitName[0],
name: splitName[1],
surname: splitName[2]
};
console.log(object);If you have a lot of strings that needs this work to be done, then just wrap the code in a function getObject that takes a string and returns the object:
function getObject(str) {
const splitName = str.split(" ");
return {
title: splitName[0],
name: splitName[1],
surname: splitName[2]
};
}
const arrayOfStrings = ["Mr Jason Biggs", "Dr Stephen Strange", "Ms Lilly Depp"];
console.log(arrayOfStrings.map(getObject));If you want to get fancy and use newer syntax, you can use destructuring assignment as well:
const fullName = "Mr Jason Biggs";
// Split and assign to named vars
const [title, name, surname] = fullName.split(' ');
// Create object from the new vars with the property value shorthand
const obj = {
title,
name,
surname
};
console.log(obj);
arr = ['Mr', 'Jason', 'Biggs'].beautiful_name = { title: arr[0], name: arr[1], surname: arr[2] }{ title:splitName[0], name:splitName[1], surname:splitName[3] }JSON.stringify
