How to get value from an object

Question

A function which is returning data in objects format. I want to get the single value from this object but it is returning undefined. This is my code.

var todayEvents = plugin.getDateEvents(day);
var str = JSON.stringify(todayEvents);
console.log(str);

This is how it is displaying in console.

[
  {
    "startDate": "2020-07-14T14:29:53.525Z",
    "endDate": 1594823393525,
    "summary": "Visit of the Louvre",
    "status": "pending"
  }
]

I want to get value of status from this object. I tried like this but it is returning undefined value.

str.status
str[0].status

Any suggestion regarding this will be helpful.

`str[0].status` since you have an array – VLAZ Jul 16 '20 at 14:40 — VLAZ, Jul 16 '20 at 14:40
try str[0].status .will work – Vijay Palaskar Jul 16 '20 at 14:44 — Vijay Palaskar, Jul 16 '20 at 14:44

You need to get by 0th index.so you get like this str[0] object

to access the name property you do the following way.

str[0].status

let str = [
  {
    "startDate": "2020-07-14T14:29:53.525Z",
    "endDate": 1594823393525,
    "summary": "Visit of the Louvre",
    "status": "pending"
  }
];

//then you can access like this
console.log(str[0].status);

access the object in the variable first and then the properties

object=[
  {
    "startDate": "2020-07-14T14:29:53.525Z",
    "endDate": 1594823393525,
    "summary": "Visit of the Louvre",
    "status": "pending"
  }
]

console.log(object[0].status)

make a jsfiddle and add your code in it and i will check it out for you – Sven.hig Jul 16 '20 at 15:25
I added some code in my question. This may will help you to understand the issue. It is working in above code snippet. This is only happening in my website code. – wplearner Jul 16 '20 at 15:34
ok run this code `Array.isArray(str)` and let me know what get in console – Sven.hig Jul 16 '20 at 15:39
It has returned false. – wplearner Jul 16 '20 at 15:40
like I expected, it means your object is not an array try accessing it like this `str.status` and let me know what you get – Sven.hig Jul 16 '20 at 15:44
Thank you so much for your time and this is a small issue but taking time. This str.status has returned undefined for me. – wplearner Jul 16 '20 at 15:46
no problem, now that might be because your object is nested do you print your object in browser console or node console? – Sven.hig Jul 16 '20 at 15:52
I am displaying this in browser console. – wplearner Jul 16 '20 at 16:01
can you take a screenshot – Sven.hig Jul 16 '20 at 16:26
