Question

I would like to do the following in JavaScript:

var myObject.name = myString;

function newFunction(){myObject.name}

Is it possible to use a string as the contents of a function? How would you convert it to be usable?

Answer 1

I believe you want myString to hold code, right ?

You can execute that code by using the eval()^{MDN docs} method.

function newFunction(){ eval(myObject.name); }

Warning !

be sure to read the Don’t use eval! section though ..
