This is the string I get from an api, it is a string but not in json format, but in javascript object format, JSON.parse does not work because the key does not have double quotes "".
"{text: 1}" //string
Now I want to convert it to a javascript object that results in
{text:1} //object
You could do this:
var var1 = "{text: 1}";
var aux = var1.split(':');
aux[0] = aux[0].replace('{', '');
aux[1] = aux[1].replace('}', '');
aux[1] = aux[1].replace(' ', '');
var parsed = {[aux[0]] : aux[1]};
console.log(parsed);
The output is:
I am going to give you a provisional and little recommended solution but for that purpose it is useful
var str="{text: 1}";
eval("var j="+str);
console.log(j);
Eval executes strings like javascript, although the use of eval is not highly recommended so you should look for another solution, if I think of a quick way (without having to process the entire string by hand) I'll put it on.
