Creating an array using a string which contains the key and the value of the properties - JavaScript
Suppose, we have a special kind of string like this −
const str ="Integer,1 Float,2.0\nBoolean,True Integer,6\nFloat,3.66 Boolean,False";
We are required to write a JavaScript function that converts the above string into the following array, using the String.prototype.split() method −
const arr = [
{
"Integer":1,
"Float":2.0
},
{
"Boolean":true,
"Integer":6
},
{
"Float":3.66,
"Boolean":false
}
];
We have to use the following rules for conversion −
---
marks the end of an object --- one whitespace terminates one key/value pair within an object --- ',' one comma separates the key from value of an object
Example
Following is the code −
const str ="Integer,1 Float,2.0\nBoolean,True Integer,6\nFloat,3.66
Boolean,False";
const stringToArray = str => {
const strArr = str.split('
');
return strArr.map(el => {
const elArr = el.split(' ');
return elArr.map(elm => {
const [key, value] = elm.split(',');
return{
[key]: value
};
});
});
};
console.log(stringToArray(str));
Output
This will produce the following output in console −
[
[ { Integer: '1' }, { Float: '2.0' } ],
[ { Boolean: 'True' }, { Integer: '6' } ],
[ { Float: '3.66' }, { Boolean: 'False' } ]
