How to change object string value in to number

Question

I have an object like below. Sometimes it will contain status sometimes not. I want to convert status value format into Number when it in object.

var obj={ 
  name: 'abc',
  status: '1',
  updated_time: { 
    '$gt': 2019-11-03T00:00:00.000Z,
    '$lt': 2019-11-03T15:23:55.838Z 
  } 
}

i've tried as below but it's not converted;

if(obj.status){
  parseInt(obj.status)
}
console.log("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$",obj)

console.log print

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$${ name: 'abc', status: '1', updated_time: { '$gt': 2019-11-03T00:00:00.000Z, '$lt': 2019-11-03T15:23:55.838Z } }

parseInt returns the converted value. You are not storing it anywhere. — Yousaf

You need to assign back parsed value to object.status. parseInt method just evaluate the value it doesn't changes value by itself in object. you need to change value manually on object.

var obj = {
  name: 'abc',
  status: '1',
  updated_time: {
    '$gt': '2019-11-03T00:00:00.000Z',
    '$lt': '2019-11-03T15:23:55.838Z'
  }
}

if (obj.status) {
  obj.status = parseInt(obj.status)
}
console.log("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$", obj)

This is just a simple mistake mate. You haven't assigned the value.

You can do that by :

if(obj.status){
  obj.status = parseInt(obj.status); //obj.status is being reassigned
}

Hope it helps :)

parseInt returns a value and you need to assign this value to object.status property:

if(obj.status){
  obj.status = parseInt(obj.status)
}
