Splitting a set of strings and storing in a dynamic variable

Question

I am getting a set of values like below from doing a split of strings

var values = [
  "Budget1-green", 
  "Team1-green", 
  "Risk1-green", 
  "Benefit1-green", 
  "Scope1-green",
  "Schedule1-green"
];

I want to be able to store the values after the - in a variable like below. Any ideas on how to do this with javascript or jQuery?

var Budget1   = 'green';
var Team1     = 'green';
var Risk1     = 'green';
var Benefit1  = 'green';
var Scope1    = 'green';
var Schedule1 = 'green';

Answer 1

Try this

This loops through each element in the array , splits it , and stores it as an object. Later you can call these values like this

objVariables["Budget1"] // returns green

var values = ["Budget1-green", "Team1-green", "Risk1-green", "Benefit1-green", "Scope1-green", "Schedule1-green"];
var objVariables = {};
for(var x=0;x<values.length;x++){
  var splitted = values[x].split("-");
  objVariables[splitted[0]] = splitted[1];
}
console.log(objVariables);

// Calling each variables 
// They all will return green since it is the data you have given 

console.log(objVariables["Budget1"]);
console.log(objVariables["Team1"]);
console.log(objVariables["Risk1"]);
console.log(objVariables["Benefit1"]);
console.log(objVariables["Scope1"]);

Answer 2

try this (store in one variable which is a map with values before - as key)

var values = ["Budget1-green", "Team1-green", "Risk1-green", "Benefit1-green", "Scope1-green", "Schedule1-green"];


var map = {}; values.forEach( function(val){ 
  var split = val.split("-"); map[ split[0] ] = split[1]; 
});

console.log(map);

Answer 3

You can save values in object.

Array.forEach

var values = ["Budget1-green", "Team1-green", "Risk1-green", "Benefit1-green", "Scope1-green", "Schedule1-green"]

var result = {}

values.forEach(function(item){
  var o = item.split("-");
  result[o[0]] = o[1];
});

document.write("<pre>" +JSON.stringify(result,0,4)+ "</pre>")

for...of

var values = ["Budget1-green", "Team1-green", "Risk1-green", "Benefit1-green", "Scope1-green", "Schedule1-green"]

var result = {}

for(var item of values){
  var o = item.split("-");
  result[o[0]]=o[1];
}

document.write("<pre>" +JSON.stringify(result,0,4)+ "</pre>")
