groupBy

Ultra tiny library to group array of objects based on multiple properties

Getting Started

If you are using npm

$ npm install --save group-object-array

or include index.js manually as

<script src="index.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Usage

const groupBy = require('group-object-array');

var result = groupBy([{"a":1,"b":{"c":"C"}},{"a":2,"b":{"c":"D"}},{"a":1,"b":{"c":"C"}},{"a":1,"b":{"c":"A"}}], 'a');
          or groupBy(test, ['a', 'b.c']);
//groupBy(test, ['a', 'b.c']) returns
[{"key":"1","children":[{"key":"C","children":[{"a":1,"b":{"c":"C"}},{"a":1,"b":{"c":"C"}}]},{"key":"A","children":[{"a":1,"b":{"c":"A"}}]}]},{"key":"2","children":[{"key":"D","children":[{"a":2,"b":{"c":"D"}}]}]}]

For browser environments, the library exports a global arrayGroup, which can be used in a similar fashion,

arrayGroup(test, ['a', 'b.c']);
// returns the grouped 'test' array
