Question

Hello and thank you for your time 🙂
My first post here, but I always end up here when im researching so I figured why not.

I would like to turn this:

 {"label":"112","value":"airbrush tanning,airbrush tan"};

Into this:

{"label":"112","value":"airbrush tanning"}, {"label":"112","value": "airbrush tan"}

I was thinking about using .split() to catch each comma delimited value. But passing both into a new array is escaping me for some reason. I am not sure what method will handle this so im hoping someone will be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

Thank you again for your time.

Answer 1

var obj =  {"label":"112","value":"airbrush tanning,airbrush tan"};

var array = $.map(obj.value.split(","), function(value) {
    return {label: obj.label, value: value};
});

console.log(array);

Output:

[Object { label="112", value="airbrush tanning"}, Object { label="112", value="airbrush tan"}]
