I want to generate a dynamic object and assign value into it. Following is the code
var chunk = "INTERNATIONALISATION#LANGUAGE#DICTIONARY#EN";
var c = chunk.split('#');
var a = {};
So the output should be like this
a["INTERNATIONALISATION"]["LANGUAGE"]["DICTIONARY"]["EN"] = 10;
Tried looping through array but nothing works for now.Please advise.
Try this:
var chunk = "INTERNATIONALISATION#LANGUAGE#DICTIONARY#EN";
var c = chunk.split('#');
var a = {};
var lastKey = c.pop();
c.reduce((obj, key) => obj[key] = obj[key] || {}, a)[lastKey] = 10;
To make it more convenient you can put it in a function:
const dynamicAssign = (object, stringPath, value) => {
const path = stringPath.split('#');
const lastKey = path.pop();
const target = path.reduce((obj, key) => obj[key] = obj[key] || {}, object);
target[lastKey] = value;
};
const a = {};
dynamicAssign(a, "INTERNATIONALISATION#LANGUAGE#DICTIONARY#EN", 10);
