How to convert a String into an Object in JavaScript

Question

I have a response coming in string format:

returnData = "1002246*9994456861#111#222*ACTIVE"

In need to modify that string data into an object :

{returnData : "1002246*9994456861#111#222*ACTIVE"}

The below is what I tried:

returnData = Object.assign({}, returnData)

But it throws me results in array for every single characters. How to convert that string variable into the object ?

Answer 1

Just create an object with the current value:

 returnData = "1002246*9994456861#111#222*ACTIVE" returnData = { returnData } console.log(returnData);

Answer 2

To create the object you want from a string, just use object literal notation:

data = {
    returnData: returnData
}

Answer 3

You can try to use Object.keys() method, like this:

 returnData = "1002246*9994456861#111#222*ACTIVE"; console.log({[Object.keys({returnData})[0]]: returnData});
