what is the best way to extract variables with '=' from a string in javascript

Question

I want to extract the variables names from a string like this: \"foo=valor bar=second\", and so on.

To return:

{ 
   foo: \"valor\", 
   ba         


        

Answer 1

Different approach from the previous answer: You can split the string on spaces and then map the result array, splitting on the equal sign to create your object (left side is property, right side is value)

If you need it your specific format you can reduce it to convert the array into one big object with all the values

let a = "foo=valor bar=second"

console.log(a.split(' ').map((i,v) => { return JSON.parse(`{"${i.split('=')[0]}": "${i.split('=')[1]}"}`);}))


let b = a.split(' ').map((i,v) => { return JSON.parse(`{"${i.split('=')[0]}": "${i.split('=')[1]}"}`);})


console.log(b.reduce(function(acc, x) {
    for (var key in x) acc[key] = x[key];
    return acc;
   }));
