multiple values from cookie to var in angular

Question

My code looks like:

  var ietms = $cookies.get('items');

I can get values back, however there are multiples such as:

Testvalue1|Testvalue2|testvalue3

I want to be able to split the three items lets say into multiple vars, like:

var ietms = $cookies.get('items')[0];
var ietms2 = $cookies.get('items')[1];
var ietms3 = $cookies.get('items')[2];

But simply split the value based on the '|'separating the values

Answer 1

If the returned data is a string, you can use var splitItems = ietms.split('|') to create one array consisting of the individual values. But its hard to say if this applies to your question, because the return type of testvalue1|..|.. is unclear
