Extract data stored in string

Is there a way I can create an object from this data stored in a string, coming from the google API:

   "recurrence": [

    "RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20181213T235959Z;BYDAY=TH"

   ],

I can use string methods, but I wondered if there was a better way.

Something like:

recurrence: {

    frequency: "weekly",

    until: "yy/mm/dd",

    byday: "th"

}

Any ideas?

What is the desired object structure, based on the given string?

You could split on semicolon, which would give you an array of entries.

No way but string methods for this case.

The Google API Documentation itself provides no other format. Hence your only option would be to apply simple string transformations. Such as :

let targetObj = {};

for(const entry of res.recurrence.substr(5).split(';)) {

    const [key, value] = entry.split('=');

    targetObj[key] = value;

}

You will need to split multiple times and convert key to lower case.

var api = {"recurrence": ["RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20181213T235959Z;BYDAY=TH"]};

var obj = {};

var str = api.recurrence[0];

var arr = str.split(";");

arr.forEach(function(element){



  var pair = element.split("=");

  var key_array = pair[0].split(":");

  var key = key_array[key_array.length-1].toLowerCase();

  var val = pair[1];

  obj[key]=val;

  

});



console.log(obj);

You can use a regex to match what you want and create your object.

const obj = { reference: ["RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20181213T235959Z;BYDAY=TH"] };



const regex = /w+=w+/g;



const extract = (obj) =>

  

  obj.reference.reduce((acc, val) => {

    

    val.match(regex).forEach((match) => {

      

      const [lVal, rVal] = match.split('=').map(d => d.toLowerCase());

Look at my solution

var str1 = "RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20181213T235959Z;BYDAY=TH";

var str2 = str1.split(':')[1].split(';');

  //  console.log(str2.split(';'));

var x = str2.map((s)=>{

var recurrence = {};

x.forEach((ar)=>{
