How to use Javascript to construct a mixture of json objects from a json request

Question

I have a json request input below and would want to construct a specific json format that the backend needs using javascript. What is the best way or steps to construct them? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Request input :

{
"Product": "abc"'
"Data": "{"Name":"John","Email":"[email protected]"}"
}

Request output to the backend as follow:

{
  "variables": {
    "Product": {
      "value": "abc",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "Data": {
      "value": "{"Name":"John","Email":"[email protected]"}",
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "Key": "123"
}

Thanks in advance

You can just map over all the entries in your object.

Documentation: Object.entries() Array.reduce()

const input = {
  Product: "abc",
  Data: "{\"Name\":\"John\",\"Email\":\"[email protected]\"}"
};
const variables = Object.entries(input).reduce((output, [key, value]) => {
  output[key] = {
    type: typeof value,
    value
  };
  return output;
}, {});

const result = {
  variables,
  key: '123'
};
console.log(result);
