Question

I am trying to pass a dynamic variable and I cant get it to work.

This code works, it returns the artist Kanye West through the API:

searchOptions = { name: 'Kanye West', fuzzy_match: true };

When I try to insert a string variable it doesn’t work.

Like such:

var artistname = "Kanye West";
searchOptions = { name: +artistname, fuzzy_match: true };

How can I get it to work?

Please help! I really appreciate it

Answer 1

Remove the +:

var artistname = "Kanye West"
searchOptions = { name: artistname, fuzzy_match: true };

You don’t have JSON and it is not a problem of jQuery either. searchOptions is a normal JavaScript object.
