Need to access data in JSON.stringify object

Question

The background for this question is I'm trying to access the selected cell from addListener in google visualization calendar. I could print the selected cell using JSON.stringify(chart.getSelection());. It prints as [{"date":1468195200000,"row":0}].

My problem is to access this date object. I tried to access it as

var obj=JSON.stringify(chart.getSelection());
        console.log('selected value '+obj.date);

But it displays as Undefined. When I print the obj it displays as [object, object]

If you need more information please let me know. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Answer 1

JSON.stringify() serializes a data object into a string. Just access the object directly.

var data = chart.getSelection()[0]; // assuming there is only ever one item in the selection array.
console.log(data.date)

Answer 2

Try this:

var data = [{"date":1468195200000,"row":0}]

var rw = data[0].row;
var dt = new Date(data[0].date);

console.log(rw);
console.log(dt);
