I have a variable called coordinates that is formatted like this:

var coordinates = 'lat / lon';

I now want to extract the single lat and lon coordinate from that variable to display it as the center in a Google Maps API Map. I have tried using slice to get the specific parts of the coordinates variable but depending on what coordinate it is the length is different, for example:

var coordinates = '49.7824 / 7.2413';
var coordinates = '8.5323 / -11.3336';

Is there any other way I could use those coordinates as the map center with the Maps API?

    Have you considered `coordinates.split(" / ")[0]` ? – lucas Feb 23 '20 at 07:04

var coordinates = '49.7824 / 7.2413';
const [lgt, lat] = coordinates.split('/');
