any smart way to convert nodejs object to a string - node.js

Question

The problem is coming from this discussion
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/11036#issuecomment-357334325
Terraform doesn't really understand multiple list, so I have to convert it to below format
locals {
test = [{
a = "a1"
b = "b1"
},{
a= "a2"
b = "b2"
}]
}
So suppose I have below object
[
{
"name": "a",
"value": "foo"
},
{
"name": "b",
"value": "bar"
},
{
"name": "c",
"value": "boo"
},
{
"name": "d",
"value": "far"
}
]
I'd like to convert to string as below:
[ { name = "a", value = "foo" }, { name = "b", value = "bar" }, { name = "c", value = "boo" }, { name = "d", value = "far" } ]
The code I am currently working is to go through each key and export it with new format.
$ cat a.js
var array1 = [{"name":"a","value":"foo"},{"name":"b","value":"bar"},{"name":"c","value":"boo"},{"name":"d","value":"far"}]
array1.forEach(function(element) {
Object.keys(element).forEach(function(key) {
console.log(key);
console.log(element[key]);
});
});
$ node a.js
name
a
value
foo
name
b
value
bar
name
c
value
boo
name
d
value
far
Any smart way to convert it, more than go through each key and export the key and value with nominated format?

Answer 1

Regex replacing will do the job:
var array1 = [{"name":"a","value":"foo"},{"name":"b","value":"bar"},{"name":"c","value":"boo"},{"name":"d","value":"far"}]
a = JSON.stringify(array1);
a = a.replace(/\[|{|\]|}|"/g, "")
a = a.replace(/:|,/g, "\n");
console.log(a);

Finally I go with #MrfksIV 's solution.
The limit is, there should be no space in any values.
var array1 = [{"name":"a","value":"foo"},{"name":"b","value":"bar"},{"name":"c","value":"boo"},{"name":"d","value":"far"}]
a = JSON.stringify(array1);
a = a.replace(/"/g, "")
a = a.replace(/:/g, "=")
console.log(a);
output is
[{name=a,value=foo},{name=b,value=bar},{name=c,value=boo},{name=d,value=far}]
