grouping data in a array js code example

Example 1: javascript array group by

function groupByKey(array, key) {
   return array
     .reduce((hash, obj) => {
       if(obj[key] === undefined) return hash; 
       return Object.assign(hash, { [obj[key]]:( hash[obj[key]] || [] ).concat(obj)})
     }, {})
}


var cars = [{'make':'audi','model':'r8','year':'2012'},{'make':'audi','model':'rs5','year':'2013'},{'make':'ford','model':'mustang','year':'2012'},{'make':'ford','model':'fusion','year':'2015'},{'make':'kia','model':'optima','year':'2012'}];

var result = groupByKey(cars, 'make');

JSON.stringify(result,"","\t");
{
	"audi": [
		{
			"make": "audi",
			"model": "r8",
			"year": "2012"
		},
		{
			"make": "audi",
			"model": "rs5",
			"year": "2013"
		}
	],
	"ford": [
		{
			"make": "ford",
			"model": "mustang",
			"year": "2012"
		},
		{
			"make": "ford",
			"model": "fusion",
			"year": "2015"
		}
	],
	"kia": [
		{
			"make": "kia",
			"model": "optima",
			"year": "2012"
		}
	]
}

Example 2: angular typescript filter array group by attribute

function groupBy(list, keyGetter) {
    const map = new Map();
    list.forEach((item) => {
         const key = keyGetter(item);
         const collection = map.get(key);
         if (!collection) {
             map.set(key, [item]);
         } else {
             collection.push(item);
         }
    });
    return map;
}

// example usage

const pets = [
    {type:"Dog", name:"Spot"},
    {type:"Cat", name:"Tiger"},
    {type:"Dog", name:"Rover"}, 
    {type:"Cat", name:"Leo"}
];
    
const grouped = groupBy(pets, pet => pet.type);
    
console.log(grouped.get("Dog")); // -> [{type:"Dog", name:"Spot"}, {type:"Dog", name:"Rover"}]
console.log(grouped.get("Cat")); // -> [{type:"Cat", name:"Tiger"}, {type:"Cat", name:"Leo"}]
