myArray = ["{url: '/delete', key: 71}", "{url: '/delete', key: 72}", "{url: '/delete', key: 73}", "{url: '/delete', key: 74}"]
I want to remove the " character that wrapped the object. Or escape from double quotes.
I have try this
myArray.replace(/"/g,"")
but it says:
Uncaught TypeError: myArray.replace is not a function
Anybody have the same experience? thank you
You can use map() and eval() to convert the string array to object array
The eval() method evaluates JavaScript code represented as a string.
var myArray = ["{url: '/delete', key: 71}", "{url: '/delete', key: 72}", "{url: '/delete', key: 73}", "{url: '/delete', key: 74}"];
myArray = myArray.map(function(v) {
return eval('(' + v + ')');
});
document.write(JSON.stringify(myArray));It's not a good approach, you can send data in valid json format. Which will be much safer than the above method. eg : ["{\"url\": \"/delete\", \"key\": 71}", "{\"url\": \"/delete\", \"key\": 72}", "{\"url": \"/delete\", \"key\": 73}", "{\"url\": \"/delete\", \"key\": 74}"], in this case you can use JSON.parse() instead of eval()
In ruby you can convert the array to JSON string , refer Ruby: How can I convert an array of data to hash and to json format? , Parsing a Ruby Array to JSON .
