js reduce object code example

Example 1: how to use reduce javascript

const sum = array.reduce((accumulator, element) => {
  return accumulator + element;
}, 0);
// An example that will loop through an array adding
// each element to an accumulator and returning it
// The 0 at the end initializes accumulator to start at 0
// If array is [2, 4, 6], the returned value in sum
// will be 12 (0 + 2 + 4 + 6)

const product = array.reduce((accumulator, element) => {
  return accumulator * element;
}, 1);
// Multiply all elements in array and return the total
// Initialize accumulator to start at 1
// If array is [2, 4, 6], the returned value in product
// will be 48 (1 * 2 * 4 * 6)

Example 2: reduce object to array javascript

var arr = [{x:1},{x:2},{x:4}];

arr.reduce(function (a, b) {
  return {x: a.x + b.x}; // returns object with property x
})

// ES6
arr.reduce((a, b) => ({x: a.x + b.x}));

// -> {x: 7}

Example 3: reduce array to object javascript

const posts = [
    {id: 1, category: "frontend", title: "All About That Sass"},
    {id: 2, category: "backend", title: "Beam me up, Scotty: Apache Beam tips"},
    {id: 3, category: "frontend", title: "Sanitizing HTML: Going antibactirial on XSS attacks"}
];

const categoryPosts = posts.reduce((acc, post) => {
    let {id, category} = post;
    return {...acc, [category]: [...(acc[category] || []), id]};
}, {});

Example 4: reduce javascript

/* this is our initial value i.e. the starting point*/
const initialValue = 0;

/* numbers array */
const numbers = [5, 10, 15];

/* reducer method that takes in the accumulator and next item */
const reducer = (accumulator, item) => {
  return accumulator + item;
};

/* we give the reduce method our reducer function
  and our initial value */
const total = numbers.reduce(reducer, initialValue)

Example 5: .reduce mdn

arr.reduce(callback( accumulator, currentValue[, index[, array]] )[, initialValue])

Example 6: reduce javascript

//note idx and sourceArray are optional
const sum = array.reduce((accumulator, element[, idx[, sourceArray]]) => {
	//arbitrary example of why idx might be needed
	return accumulator + idx * 2 + element 
}, 0);
