I am using node.js.
I have a function that can be called this way;
add_row({location:'L1', row_name:'r1', value:'18.4'});
I have a string like this;
var str_param = "location:'L1', row_name:'r1', value:'18.4'";
I tried to do something like this to keep my code simple;
add_row(str_param);
It did not work. What is a good way to use str_param to call add_row?
You could convert the string to an object that the function accepts.
function toObj(str) {
const a = str.split(/,.?/g);
return a.reduce((p, c) => {
const kv = c.replace(/'/g, '').split(':');
p[kv[0]] = kv[1];
return p;
}, {});
}
toObj(str); // { location: "L1", row_name: "r1", value: "18.4" }
I think this may be your issue:
{location:'L1', row_name:'r1', value:'18.4'} // Object
var str_param = "location:'L1', row_name:'r1', value:'18.4'"; // Not object
var str_param = "{location:'L1', row_name:'r1', value:'18.4'}"; // Object String
I do not use Node JS but just taking a shot in dark. If not you could just make function like:
function addRow(pLocation, pRowName, pValue) {
var row = {
location: pLocation,
row_name: pRowName,
value: pValue
}
// Logic ....
}
If that does not work try using Object string and look at function ParseJSON I believe it's called.
