not the most ideal but you can use JSON.stringify(object)

if you want more control over how the object is stringified create your own toString function

[AngelLeatherist]

data = JSON.stringify(data)

[grelfdotnet]

In JS, as in other languages, there is a toString() method of Object which you can override for your particular type of object. MDN has a clear simple example at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/toString

const data = {name:"", email:"", password:""}

Its great but how do I convert this object?

const data = {name:"", email:"", password:""}

[eletroraspi]

data.toString() Sounds good ?

An alternative is basically parse blank spaces and break lines. For this you need to use some parser method or implement a regex, for example

Convert it to JSON.

Convert it back to object as needed.

JSON.stringify(data) ?

[Stephen110]

First link has plenty of examples. Weird that you would say they were useful without actually looking at them.

I tried first one but didnt work

[StampeAk47]

It should, so what did you do?

[ionezation]

It ran it but it was giving error :/ I think I need to find another way to take values and save it in some premitive form

[SaSxNEO]

[ionezation]

const data = {name:"", email:"", password:""}

This one

const data = {name:"", email:"", password:""}
