nest-by

Groups an array/object by property values or callback

Works like group-by or lodash.groupBy, but also:

• can nest recursively
• works with objects as well as arrays

Usage

nestBy(object or array, property, [...properties])

Arrays

list =
  [ { name: 'Marge', gender: 'f' },
    { name: 'Homer', gender: 'm' },
    { name: 'Bart', gender: 'm' } ]

result = nestBy(list, 'gender')
//  { f: [ { name: 'Marge', gender: 'f' } ],
//    m: [ { name: 'Homer', gender: 'm' },
//         { name: 'Bart', gender: 'm' } ] }

Objects

list =
  { marge: { name: 'Marge', gender: 'f' },
    homer: { name: 'Homer', gender: 'm' },
    bart: { name: 'Bart', gender: 'm' } }

var result = nestBy(list, 'gender')
// f:
//   marge: { name: 'Marge', gender: 'f' }
// m:
//   homer: { name: 'Homer', gender: 'm' }
//   bart: { name: 'Bart', gender: 'm' }

Recursive

list =
  [ { name: 'Marge', gender: 'f' },
    { name: 'Homer', gender: 'm' },
    { name: 'Bart', gender: 'm' } ]

result = nestBy(list, 'gender', 'name')
//  f:
//    'Marge':
//      [ { name: 'Marge', gender: 'f' } ]
//  m:
//    'Homer':
//      [ { name: 'Homer', gender: 'm' } ]
//    'Bart':
//      [ { name: 'Bart', gender: 'm' } ]
