How to make object of keys and values based on a string?

Question

I have a following string:

var str = "name=test1^assigned_to=12345678901112131415161718991234^business_service=99945678901112131415161718991211^EQ";
var obj = { name: 'test1',
            assigned_to: '12345678901112131415161718991234',
            business_service: '99945678901112131415161718991211'
          };

and would like to create object of specific keys and values from that string as is in my example, has anyone achieved similar thing? How?

love that querystring is reinvented to use ^ as a separator. — epascarello, Jul 28 '20 at 14:12
Isn't `short_description` supposed to be `name`? Like it is in the string? — Nick Parsons, Jul 28 '20 at 14:17
Use [something like this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2091331). Instead of splitting on `&`, split on `^` — adiga, Jul 28 '20 at 14:20

let str = "name=test1^assigned_to=12345678901112131415161718991234^business_service=99945678901112131415161718991211^EQ";

let obj = {}
str.split('^').forEach(e => {
  let x = e.split('=');
  if (x[1])
    obj[x[0]] = x[1]
});

console.log(obj);

You can remove if (x[1]) condition;
