Can't parse JSON from settings

[LordElysian]

I'm basing off one of the settings for my app on the Select component which is over here in the docs. 

The problem I'm having is that in the companion, I can't seem to get the text value from the setting. It's parsing the JSON into the following stringified object:

{"values":[{"name":"Calories"}],"selected":[1]}

I just want to get the "Calories" text, but any variation of JSON.parse(evt.newValue) is undefined.

I've tried JSON.parse(evt.newValue.values.name) and JSON.parse(evt.newValue.values[0].name) and nothing seems to work.

How would I get the string "Calories" from the parsed JSON?

Never mind, I figured it out. This is what works:

data = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(evt.newValue).values[0].name));

I don't think you need to double parse it.

JSON.parse(evt.newValue).values[0].name
