How can i get the index selected of a selection settings item?

[Aaroneisele55]

Hello,

I have a settings select item that looks like this:

<Select
        label={`1`}
        settingsKey="1"
        options={[
          {name:"Mathe"},
          {name:"Deutsch"},
          {name:"Französisch"},
          {name:"Physik"},
          {name:"Englisch"},
          {name:"Informatik"},
          {name:"Religion"},
          {name:"Musik"},
          {name:"Geschichte"},
          {name:"Kunst"},
          {name:"Chemie"},{name:"Biologie"},
          {name:"Geografie"},
          {name:"Sport"},
          {name:"-"}
  ]}
/>

 I want to save the index of the item that is selected in companion settings to a variable in companion/index.js

(Index of "Mathe" for example would be 0)

How can i do this, because a settingsStorage.getItem() on it returns

weird things like this:

 '{"values":[{"name":"Deutsch"}],"selected":[1]}', '{"values":[{"name":"Informatik"}],"selected":[5]}', '{"values":[{"name":"Französisch"}],"selected":[2]}', '{"values":[{"name":"Physik"}],"selected":[3]}', '{"values":[{"name":"Englisch"}],"selected":[4]}', '{"values":[{"name":"Informatik"}],"selected":[5]}'

 Thanks

Aaron

That's just a stringified JSON object. Convert it back to a JS object using JSON.parse(), then access whatever fields you want.
