javascript group by code example

Example 1: javascript group by property array of objects

function groupArrayOfObjects(list, key) {
  return list.reduce(function(rv, x) {
    (rv[x[key]] = rv[x[key]] || []).push(x);
    return rv;
  }, {});
};

var people = [
    {sex:"Male", name:"Jeff"},
    {sex:"Female", name:"Megan"},
    {sex:"Male", name:"Taylor"},
    {sex:"Female", name:"Madison"}
];
var groupedPeople=groupArrayOfObjects(people,"sex");
console.log(groupedPeople.Male);//will be the Males 
console.log(groupedPeople.Female);//will be the Females

Example 2: javascript group by key

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' }],
    result = cars.reduce(function (r, a) {
        r[a.make] = r[a.make] || [];
        r[a.make].push(a);
        return r;
    }, Object.create(null));

console.log(result);

Example 3: 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 4: javascript group by key

result = array.reduce((h, obj) => Object.assign(h, { [obj.key]:( h[obj.key] || [] ).concat(obj) }), {})

Example 5: javascript array group by id

var results = orgs.reduce(function(results, org) {
    (results[org.id] = results[org.id] || []).push(org);
    return results;
}, {})

Example 6: 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"}]
