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":"john@example.com"}"
}

Request output to the backend as follow:

{
  "variables": {
    "Product": {
      "value": "abc",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "Data": {
      "value": "{"Name":"John","Email":"john@example.com"}",
      "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\":\"john@example.com\"}" }; 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);
