Group by element in array JavaScript
Suppose, we have an array of objects like this −
const arr = [
{"name": "toto", "uuid": 1111},
{"name": "tata", "uuid": 2222},
{"name": "titi", "uuid": 1111}
];We are required to write a JavaScript function that splits the objects into separate array of arrays that have the similar values for the uuid property.
Output
Therefore, the output should look like this −
const output = [
[
{"name": "toto", "uuid": 1111},
{"name": "titi", "uuid": 1111}
],
[
{"name": "tata", "uuid": 2222}
]
];The code for this will be −
const arr = [
{"name": "toto", "uuid": 1111},
{"name": "tata", "uuid": 2222},
{"name": "titi", "uuid": 1111}
];
const groupByElement = arr => {
const hash = Object.create(null),
result = [];
arr.forEach(el => {
if (!hash[el.uuid]) {
hash[el.uuid] = [];
result.push(hash[el.uuid]);
};
hash[el.uuid].push(el);
});
return result;
};
console.log(groupByElement(arr));Output
The output in the console −
[
[ { name: 'toto', uuid: 1111 }, { name: 'titi', uuid: 1111 } ],
[ { name: 'tata', uuid: 2222 } ]
]
