How to use dynamic variables in expression

myres.txt
[
{
"name": "test-001",
"is_preconfigured": true,
},
{
"name": "my-connector",
"is_preconfigured": 3
},
{
"name": "checkerfrom_default2_002",
"is_preconfigured": false,
}
]

When i use direct command
yq e '. | .[].name | select(. == "my-connector")' myres.txt
This gives me result as my-connector

But when I use following way
NAME_IN_YAML="my-connector"

EXISTING_NAME=$(yq e '. | .[].name | select(. == $NAME_IN_YAML)' myres.txt)

This is blank result

You need to use the env operator https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/operators/env-variable-operators#read-string-environment-variable

EXISTING_NAME=$(yq e '. | .[].name | select(. == strenv(NAME_IN_YAML))' myres.txt)
