from JSON object to Java Script Object that contains js function name

Question

I have this JS object:

{ validator: myValidator }

myValidator is a java JAVASCRIPT function NAME that will be declared somewhere else. I am planning to use it like:

<TableHeaderColumn dataField='status' editable={ { validator: myValidator } }>Job Status</TableHeaderColumn>

where TableHeaderColumn is a react component. So, the question is: What is the JSON string that after using JSON.parse or a similar command I will obtain the { validator: myValidator } object where myValidator is "the name of a function", not a string. This is not clear for me inclusive at the referenced solution.

You would include the name of the function as string in the JSON and map the name to the actual function after you parsed the JSON by simply iterating over the object and look up the function by name a map that contains all validation functions. — Felix Kling, Apr 21 '17 at 18:45
Thanks for the idea... I was thinking there was a direct way to do this without the mapping. — Jose Cabrera Zuniga, Apr 21 '17 at 18:47

To convert a JS Object to JSON, you can use json = JSON.stringify(jsObject)

To convert JSON to a JS Object, just use jsObject = JSON.parse(json)

but... how could I represent { validator: myValidator } in JSON so, after parsing from JSON to JS I will get { validator: myValidator }?. In this case myValidator is not a string, but the name of a function. – Jose Cabrera Zuniga Apr 21 '17 at 17:47
