How can I parse a CSV string with JavaScript, which contains comma in data?

Question

I have the following type of string

var string = "\'string, duppi, du\', 23, lala"

I want to split the string into an array on each

If you can have your quote delimiter be double quotes, then this is a duplicate of Example JavaScript code to parse CSV data.

You can either translate all single-quotes to double-quotes first:

string = string.replace( /'/g, '"' );

...or you can edit the regex in that question to recognize single-quotes instead of double-quotes:

// Quoted fields.
"(?:'([^']*(?:''[^']*)*)'|" +

However, this assumes certain markup that is not clear from your question. Please clarify what all the various possibilities of markup can be, per my comment on your question.
