Js string.split with regex on space or special character

I need to split a command string either on a space or if a substring is surrounded by double quotes. So an example input would be:

'ADD PRODUCT "This could be any number of words" 232323-fwe4f434-354trcc2'

With that as in input im looking for an output of:

['ADD', 'PRODUCT', '"This could be any number of words"', '232323-fwe4f434-354trcc2']

Ive tried this and it gets me close but still not quite what i need

input:

const str = 'ADD PRODUCT "This could be any number of words" 232323-fwe4f434-354trcc2'

console.log(str.split(/\s*(")\s*/))

output:

[
  'ADD PRODUCT',
  '"',
  'This could be any number of words',
  '"',
  '232323-fwe4f434-354trcc2'
