Question

I have a json object named data like below

And I have a function denomination in a string like below

test is the name of the function I would like to call and pass it the json object data.

here is the test function:

test = function (data) {
    alert('I am the test function');
}

I already try:

eval(func(data));

It doesn’t work.

Any idea?

Thanks.

While eval() is one possible solution, it is AWFUL.

Instead, interrogate the window to find the function you want and run it from there:

function test() {
    alert("test")       
}

var func = $("#confirm-remove").data("success");
var data = {}; // Your object
var fn = window[func];
if (typeof fn === 'function') {
    fn(data);
}

This assumes your function has global scope.
