Most efficient method to groupby on an array of objects - JavaScript
Suppose, we have an array of objects like this −
const arr = [
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 1", Value: "5" },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 2", Value: "10" },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 1", Value: "15" },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 2", Value: "20" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 1", Value: "25" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 2", Value: "30" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 1", Value: "35" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 2", Value: "40" }
];We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in one such array as the first argument.
Our purpose is to be able to group the given array based on multiple or one single property (indicated by second, third arguments.)
Therefore, if we did groupby Phase, we should receive −
const output = [
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Value: 50 },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Value: 130 }
];And if we did groupy Phase / Step, we should receive −
const output = [
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Value: 15 },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Value: 35 },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Value: 55 },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Value: 75 }
];Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 1", Value: "5" },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 2", Value: "10" },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 1", Value: "15" },
{ Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 2", Value: "20" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 1", Value: "25" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 2", Value: "30" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 1", Value: "35" },
{ Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Task: "Task 2", Value: "40" }
];
const groupBy = (array, groups, valueKey) => {
const map = new Map;
groups = [].concat(groups);
return array.reduce((acc, val) => {
groups.reduce((accu, value, ind, { length }) => {
let child;
if (accu.has(val[value])) {
return accu.get(val[value]);
};
if (ind + 1 === length) {
child = Object
.assign(...groups.map(value => ({ [value]: val[value]
})), { [valueKey]: 0 });
acc.push(child);
}
else {
child = new Map;
};
accu.set(val[value], child);
return child;
}, map)[valueKey] += +val[valueKey];
return acc;
}, []);
};
console.log(groupBy(arr, 'Phase', 'Value'));
console.log(groupBy(arr, ['Phase', 'Step'], 'Value'));Output
And the output in the console will be −
[ { Phase: 'Phase 1', Value: 50 }, { Phase: 'Phase 2', Value: 130 } ]
[
{ Phase: 'Phase 1', Step: 'Step 1', Value: 15 },
{ Phase: 'Phase 1', Step: 'Step 2', Value: 35 },
{ Phase: 'Phase 2', Step: 'Step 1', Value: 55 },
{ Phase: 'Phase 2', Step: 'Step 2', Value: 75 }
]
