I'm trying to group the following array with objects:
[ { user_id: 301, alert_id: 199, deal_id: 32243 },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deal_id: 32243 },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deal_id: 107293 },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deal_id: 277470 } ]
As you can see it contains user_id and alert_id combinations, which I like to group. So I would like to have the following array:
[ { user_id: 301, alert_id: 199, deals: [32243] },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deals: [32243,107293,277470]}]
Anyone knows a solution for this? With underscore's GroupBy I can group the values based on one key. But I need to group them, based on the combination user_id AND alert_id, as you can see.
I took a look at underscore.nest, but the problem is it creates its own keys.
Use groupBy with a function that creates a composite key using user_id and alert_id. Then map across the groupings to get what you want:
var list = [ { user_id: 301, alert_id: 199, deal_id: 32243 },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deal_id: 32243 },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deal_id: 107293 },
{ user_id: 301, alert_id: 200, deal_id: 277470 } ];
var groups = _.groupBy(list, function(value){
return value.user_id + '#' + value.alert_id;
});
var data = _.map(groups, function(group){
return {
user_id: group[0].user_id,
alert_id: group[0].alert_id,
deals: _.pluck(group, 'deal_id')
}
});
I would like to contribute a neat typescript ES6 group by.
I am not really sure how to tighten up the return value typing. Some trickery is needed there, but this works rather well for me.
/**
* group the supplied list by a set of keys.
* @param list the list of items to group.
* @param children the key for the array of child items.
* @param components the components to group by.
*/
groupByMultipleFields<T, K extends keyof T>(
list: T[],
children: string,
...components: K[]): any[] {
var grouping = [...list.reduce((r, o) => {
const key = components.map(_ => `${o[_]}`).join(" :: ");
var keyed = r.get(key) || components.reduce((x, y) => { x[y] = o[y]; return x; }, <T>{});
keyed[children] = keyed[children] || [];
keyed[children].push(o);
return r.set(key, keyed);
}, new Map).values()];
return grouping;
}
You will need to turn on the typescript compiler option "downlevelIteration": true
to allow the new Map
to iterate and return values()
.
