Nested collection filter with JavaScript
Suppose, we have an array of nested objects like this −
const arr = [{
id: 1,
legs:[{
carrierName:'Pegasus'
}]
},
{
id: 2,
legs:[{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
},
{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
}]
},
{
id: 3,
legs:[{
carrierName: 'Pegasus'
},
{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
}]
}];We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes one such array as the first argument and a search query string as the second argument.
Our function should filter the array to contain only those objects whose "carrier name" property value is the same value specified by the second argument.
If for the above array, the second argument is "Pegasus". Then the output should look like −
const output = [{
id: 1,
legs:[{
carrierName:'Pegasus'
}]
},
{
id: 3,
legs:[{
carrierName: 'Pegasus'
},
{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
}]
}];Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [{
id: 1,
legs:[{
carrierName:'Pegasus'
}]
},
{
id: 2,
legs:[{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
},
{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
}]
},
{
id: 3,
legs:[{
carrierName: 'Pegasus'
},
{
carrierName: 'SunExpress'
}]
}];
const keys = ['Pegasus'];
const filterByKeys = (arr = [], keys = []) => {
const res = arr.filter(function(item) {
const thisObj = this;
return item.legs.some(leg => {
return thisObj[leg.carrierName];
});
}, keys.reduce((acc, val) => {
acc[val] = true;
return acc;
}, Object.create(null)));
return res;
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(filterByKeys(arr, keys), undefined, 4));Output
And the output in the console will be −
[
{
"id": 1,
"legs": [
{
"carrierName": "Pegasus"
}
]
},
{
"id": 3,
"legs": [
{
"carrierName": "Pegasus"
},
{
"carrierName": "SunExpress"
}
]
}
]
