javascript store strings as grouped objects 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: 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"}]
