Each user's information is separated by a comma, or a space, but some pieces of information can be blank. I'm looking for a solution to take the user information and create an object (key-value mapping). Here's my approach, but I can't get multiple objects.
function Person(name, email, age, occupation) {
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
this.age = age;
this.occupation = occupation;
}
let string = "Norbert,norbert@test.com,51,Coder Noemi,,,Teacher Rachel,rachel@test.com,,"
let stringArr = string.split(/[\s,]+/)
const personObj = new Person(...stringArr)
console.log(personObj)When splitting the string, you need to keep the empty strings between the commas, but you are splitting sequences of commas as one divider - [\s,]+.
Split the string by a single , or a sequence of spaces - /,|\s+/. Then create an array of Person using Array.from(), dividing the original length by 4, and taking 4 properties by slicing the original array:
function Person(name, email, age, occupation) {
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
this.age = age;
this.occupation = occupation;
}
const string = "Norbert,norbert@test.com,51,Coder Noemi,,,Teacher Rachel,rachel@test.com,,"
const stringArr = string.split(/,|\s+/)
const personArr = Array.from({ length: stringArr.length / 4 }, (_,i) =>
new Person(...stringArr.slice(i * 4, i * 4 + 4))
)
console.log(personArr)Assuming space is a line separator, and comma is a field separator, split:
function Person(name, email, age, occupation) {
this.name = name;
this.email = email;
this.age = age;
this.occupation = occupation;
}
let string = "Norbert,norbert@test.com,51,Coder Noemi,,,Teacher Rachel,rachel@test.com,,";
const persons = string.split(' ').map(r => new Person(...r.split(',')));
console.log(persons)
