javascript - How to create an object with properties in the array from the string?

Question

I want to create objects with properties in an array by string. I'm extracting "name" from string and "data" without round brackets and trying to create objects in the array with the property "name" and property "data". But actual result differs from expected, please help to solve

const names = ["name1 /2 (data1)", "name1 /2 (data2)", "name2 /1 (data1)"]
const flag = true

names.forEach(name => {
    console.log(getStructuredDataFromNames(name))
})

function getStructuredDataFromNames(name) {
    const names = {}
    // extract name from string and conver to valid format - 'name1'
    const formattedName = name.substr(0, name.indexOf("/")).replace(/s+/g, "")
    // extract data from string and conver to valid format - 'data1'
    const formattedData = name.match(/((.*))/).pop()

    const reference = {
        formattedData,
        flag
    }
    // if no name then create a new property by this name
    if (!names[name]) {
        names[name] = [{
            data: [reference]
        }]
    } else {
        // if object have name but name have more then 1 data then push this data to array
        names[name].push(reference)
    }
    const result = Object.keys(names)
    return result.map(el => ({
        name: el,
        data: names[el]
    }))
}

Although the code is not that clean, it can do the job. My flow is first to remove the spaces, and then split the name and the data, remove the number before the data and remove (). If "formattedNames" already have the same "name" object, push the data to the "name" object.

const names = ["name1 /2 (data1)", "name1 /2 (data2)", "name2 /1 (data1)"]
const formattedNames = []

names.forEach(value =>{
  const processedName = value.replace(/ /g,'').split("/")
  const formattedName = formattedNames.find((object)=>{ return object.name === processedName[0]})
  const formattedData = processedName[1].split("(")[1].replace(")","")
  if (!formattedName) {
    formattedNames.push({name: processedName[0],data: [{flag: true, formattedData}]})
  } else {
    formattedName.data.push({flag: true, formattedData})
  }
})

console.log(formattedNames)
