Can’t access attributes on a primitive-typed value (string)

TypeError: Can't access attributes on a primitive-typed value (string)

This error occurs when you are trying to access attributes or properties on a primitive value such as a string, number, boolean, null, or undefined. Primitive values do not have attributes or properties like objects do.

Here’s an example:

var name = "John";
console.log(name.length);

In the above example, the variable name is a string primitive. When we try to access its length attribute, we get the mentioned error because primitive values do not have attributes or properties.

To fix this error, you need to make sure you are trying to access attributes or properties on objects, not primitives. In the previous example, we can fix it by creating a String object instead of a string primitive:

var name = new String("John");
console.log(name.length);

Now, the variable name is an object of type String, and it has the length attribute.
