Parse string into object

+14

Hi there - How is it possible to parse (convert string into object with keys) in airtable scripting?

Here is some sample string text:

{
  a: 'somestring',
  b: 42,
  c: false
},{
	a: 'somethine else',
    b: 10,
    c: true}

The output should be two objects with three keys

If your string were JSON, you could use JSON.parse(), but your string is not quite JSON. Can you get the string sent to you as JSON?

Thanks. I am creating the string via Airtable scripting and reading it there as well.

Instead of (or in addition to) making the string in scripting, why not just make the object directly?
