I want to transform the the input value from the input element into an Object
using Json.parse() to convert the internData value does not convert the string to an Object
doing the same operation in the browser console returns the correct outcome.
let data = "[1,2,3,4]";
JSON.parse(datas)
(4) [1, 2, 3, 4]
typeof z
'object'
What am I missing here ?
new Vue({
el: "#app",
data() {
return {
datatype: "foo",
internData: "[1, 2, 3]",
};
},
methods: {
transformData() {
//
//
JSON.parse(this.internData);
// this.internData.push(12);
return this.internData;
},
whatFormat(){
console.log(typeof this.internData)
}
},
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<html>
<body>
<div id="app">
<h5> {{ data }}</h5>
<input v-model="internData" @input="onInputme" />
<button type="button" @click="transformData">click to transform</button>
<button type="button" @click="whatFormat">what data type</button>
</div>

</html>The issue that you currently have is that you are not updating the internData from the transformData function youe should reassign internData with JSON parsed format of same inside the function just like below
transformData() {
this.internData = JSON.parse(this.internData);
}
OR
You could make transformData as a computed property and watch for the type of transformData. Here you can get rid of the click event to parse the data.
new Vue({
el: "#app",
data() {
return {
datatype: "foo",
internData: "[1, 2, 3]",
};
},
methods: {
whatFormat() {
console.log(this.transformData);
console.log(typeof this.transformData);
}
},
computed: {
transformData: function () {
return JSON.parse(this.internData)
}
}
});<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.5.17/vue.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<input v-model="internData" />
<button type="button" @click="whatFormat">what data type</button>
</div>Your transformData function transforms the string, but the newly created object is not assigned to the internData property.
This should do the trick:
transformData() {
this.internData = JSON.parse(this.internData);
},
