How to make object of keys and values based on a string?

Question

I have a following string:

var str = "name=test1^assigned_to=12345678901112131415161718991234^business_service=99945678901112131415161718991211^EQ";
var obj = { name: 'test1',
            assigned_to: '12345678901112131415161718991234',
            business_service: '99945678901112131415161718991211'
          };

and would like to create object of specific keys and values from that string as is in my example, has anyone achieved similar thing? How?

love that querystring is reinvented to use ^ as a separator. — epascarello

Isn't short_description supposed to be name? Like it is in the string? — Nick Parsons

let str = "name=test1^assigned_to=12345678901112131415161718991234^business_service=99945678901112131415161718991211^EQ";

let obj = {}
str.split('^').forEach(e => {
  let x = e.split('=');
  if (x[1])
    obj[x[0]] = x[1]
});

console.log(obj);

You can remove if (x[1]) condition;
