Converting string to object with Javascript

Question

I am trying to convert to object this string.

   "JwtBody { user_id: 1, auth_id: 1}"

Solution

"JwtBody { user_id: 1, auth_id: 1}" is obviously not a standard json string,So you can try this.

function strToObj(str){
   var obj = {};
   if(str&&typeof str ==='string'){
       var objStr = str.match(/\{(.)+\}/g);
       eval("obj ="+objStr);
   }
   return obj
}

Possible duplicate of String to object in JS

Write a parser to strip out JwtBody and then use JSON.parse().

@JaromandaX invalid as json due to no quotes

ahhh, yes, damn :p

This will fail because the string is not well-formed JSON.

I can not use jQuery, in the backend I have a string as I said above and I need to convert it to an object.

[Admin]

This will fail because the string not in this format

[Jaromanda X]

or just eval("JwtBody { user_id: 1, auth_id: 1}".replace(/([^}]+?)({.*})/, '$1=$2')); - results in a var named JwtBody with the value of the object

The 1 don't need to be quoted. Actually, they probably should not.

Only eval() is not safe... If the string includes code, it's going to be executed.
