If I am given properties as a string in multiple test cases...
var testCase = "Key1: 1, Key2: 2, key3: 3, key4: 4"
...is there a way in JavaScript to convert it to an object?
var myObj = {
key1: 1,
key2: 2,
key3: 3,
key4: 4
};

If it's not coming from user input, just use eval. – Shashank Nov 21 '15 at 16:09

You can use a regex to parse the string `/(.+?): (.+?),?/g` – Tivie Nov 21 '15 at 16:15

Yes, it's a duplicate, but the accepted answer to that duplicate does not really apply, since it assumes that the keys are quotes. – Nov 21 '15 at 16:19

@torazaburo: There is no accepted answer to that question but even if there was, the accepted answer isn't an "official" answer. – Nov 21 '15 at 17:12

You could use the eval function as follows:
eval("var obj = {" + yourString + "}");
console.log(obj);
