Javascript – How to form a nested json structure from keys string?

I have two variables: currValue and keys, which is a string of keys separated by . like this: global.fontsize.bodyscale. I want to create a nested json structure from this string. The json structure should like:

{
    global: {
        fontsize: {
            bodyscale: {
                value: currValue
            }
        }
    }
}

How can I do this?

    You can use reduceRight to repeatedly wrap the initial object with parent objects, based on the keys.

    const currValue = 'hello';
const keys = 'global.fontsize.bodyscale';

const result = keys.split('.')
  .reduceRight((obj, key) => ({[key]: obj}), {value: currValue})

console.log(result)

    const keys = 'global.fontsize.bodyscale'
const currValue = 123

const keysList = keys.split('.')

const result = {}

let current = result
for (const key of keysList.slice(0, -1)) {
  current[key] = {}
  current = current[key]
}
current[keysList.at(-1)] = currValue

console.log(result)

    You can use following code for this

    let keys = "global.fontsize.bodyscale";
const nested_keys = keys.split(".").reverse();
let obj = "currValue"

nested_keys.forEach((key) => {
    result = {}
    result[key] = obj
    obj = result
})

console.log(obj)
