I have an array and I have a path to a specific element.
const str = "[0].subArray[2]" const arr = [ { subArray: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] }, { subArray: [32, 321, 11]} ];
Is it possible somehow to display an element using a string path?

You could take a dynamic approach for an length of the path.
function getValue(object, path) { return path .replace(/[/g, '.') .replace(/]/g, '') .split('.') .filter(Boolean) .reduce((o, k) => (o || {})[k], object); } console.log(getValue([{ subArray: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] }, { subArray: [32, 321, 11] }], "[0].subArray[2]"));
