Merge 2 objects based on 1 field using Underscore.

问题:

I have 2 arrays of objects:

var a = [
    { "image_id": 631293, "score": 73 }, 
    { "image_id": 11848407, "score": 56 }
];

var b = [
    { "image_id": 631293, "article_id": 173 }, 
    { "image_id": 11848407, "article_id": 121 }
];

I have tried to apply method described in How can i merge array of objects with underscore js but unfortunately it does not work at all.

My need is to merge both arrays of objects thanks to image_id.

So I tried this :

_.values(
   _.extendOwn(
      _.indexBy(a, 'image_id'),
      _.indexBy(b, 'image_id')
   )
)

but output just return me this array of object a

I need to get :

[
    {"image_id": 631293, "score": 73, "article_id": 173}, 
    {"image_id": 11848407, "score": 56, "article_id": 121}
]

How can I achieve this without doing a loop to check every element of array and use a findWhere?

回答1:

Using indexBy is a good start. Then loop and extend one:

var indexed = _.indexBy(a, 'image_id');

_.each(b, function(obj) {
  var master = indexed[obj.image_id];
  if (master) _.extend(master, obj);
});

or if you want a new array and let the original objects untouched:

var result = _.map(b, function(obj) {
  var master = indexed[obj.image_id];
  return _.extend({}, master, obj);
});

var a = [{
  "image_id": 11848407,
  "score": 56
}, {
  "image_id": 631293,
  "score": 73
}, {
  "image_id": "dummy",
  "score": 1
}];

var b = [{
  "image_id": "test",
  "article_id": 0
}, {
  "image_id": 631293,
  "article_id": 173
}, {
  "image_id": 11848407,
  "article_id": 121
}];

var indexed = _.indexBy(a, 'image_id');

_.each(b, function(obj) {
  var master = indexed[obj.image_id];
  if (master) _.extend(master, obj);
});

console.log(a);

You can use _.zip as follows:

var a = [
  { "image_id": 631293, "score": 73 }, 
  { "image_id": 11848407, "score": 56 }
];

var b = [
  { "image_id": 631293, "article_id": 173 }, 
  { "image_id": 11848407, "article_id": 121 }
];

var c = _.zip(a, b).map(function(elem){
  return _.extendOwn(elem[0], elem[1]);
});
