Can't access object property, even though it shows up in a console log

Question

Below, you can see the output from these two logs. The first clearly shows the full object with the property I\'m trying to access, but on the very next line of code, I can\

Answer 1

First thing check the type like below:

console.log(typeof config);

If the command above prints object then it is very easy you just use the bracket notation. Bracket notation can be quite useful if you want to search for a property’s values dynamically.

Execute the command below:

console.log(config[col_id_3]);

If it a string you need to parse in object first. To do that you need to execute the command below:

var object = JSON.parse(config);

And after that use bracket notation to access the property like below:

console.log(object[col_id_3]);
