I guess have a dead simple problem but still didn't find a solution I have an array which looks like this:
var originalArray = [
{
pid: 1,
coordinates: {x: "50", y: null, f: null}
},
{
pid: 1,
coordinates: {x: null, y: "22", f: null}
},
{
pid: 1,
coordinates: {x: null, y: null, f: "2"}
},
{
pid: 2,
coordinates: {x: "23", y: null, f: null}
},
{
pid: 2,
coordinates: {x: null, y: "62", f: null}
},
{
pid: 2,
coordinates: {x: null, y: null, f: "15"}
}
]
I'd like to modify it to look like this (merge by id and join elements):
var originalArray = [
{
pid: 1,
coordinates: {x: "50", y: "22", f: "2"}
},
{
pid: 2,
coordinates: {x: "23", y: "62", f: "15"}
}
]
I already had multiple tries but still didn't find an elegant way of doing it.
You can group the array by pids and merge the non null coordinates using reduce.
const originalArray = [
{ pid: 1, coordinates: { x: "50", y: null, f: null } },
{ pid: 1, coordinates: { x: null, y: "22", f: null } },
{ pid: 1, coordinates: { x: null, y: null, f: "2" } },
{ pid: 2, coordinates: { x: "23", y: null, f: null } },
{ pid: 2, coordinates: { x: null, y: "62", f: null } },
{ pid: 2, coordinates: { x: null, y: null, f: "15" } },
];
const result = Object.values(
originalArray.reduce((r, o) => {
r[o.pid] ??= { pid: o.pid };
r[o.pid].coordinates = {
...r[o.pid].coordinates,
...Object.entries(o.coordinates).reduce(
(r, [k, v]) => (v && (r[k] = v), r),
{}
),
};
return r;
}, {})
);
console.log(result);Relevant Documentations:
const input = [
{ pid: 1, coordinates: { x: "50", y: null, f: null } },
{ pid: 1, coordinates: { x: null, y: "22", f: null } },
{ pid: 1, coordinates: { x: null, y: null, f: "2" } },
{ pid: 2, coordinates: { x: "23", y: null, f: null } },
{ pid: 2, coordinates: { x: null, y: "62", f: null } },
{ pid: 2, coordinates: { x: null, y: null, f: "15" } },
];
const mergeByIdWhereEntry = (array, id, entries, predicate) => Array.from(
array.reduce(
(entriesById, { [id]: key, [entries]: value }) => entriesById.set(
key,
Object.assign(
entriesById.get(key) ?? {},
Object.fromEntries(
Object.entries(value).filter(predicate),
),
),
),
new Map(),
),
([key, value]) => ({ [id]: key, [entries]: value }),
);
const output = mergeByIdWhereEntry(input, 'pid', 'coordinates', (entry) => entry[1]);
console.log(output);Here's one way to merge by an id and join the elements. It reduces the array into a Map of each merged coordinates by pid, then converts the map back into an array of the object in the original form.
