I have one array of objects:
teamScores: [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 21},
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 11},
],
I need to compare the key 'points' within these two objects and return a new key saying if its the highest value. For this example the return should be:
teamScores: [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 21, isHighest: true},
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 11, isHighest: false},
],
And vice versa:
teamScores: [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 11, isHighest: false},
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 21, isHighest: true},
],
I tried to use .reduce() but it didn't work so well. Here is my try:
const newTeams = scoreTeams.reduce((acc, team, idx) => {
const isHigh = scoreTeams[idx].points > scoreTeams[idx - 1]?.points;
const accTeam = {
...team,
isHighest: isHigh,
};
acc[idx] = accTeam;
return acc;
}, []);
If the first object has a lower value it works well, the output:
teamScores: [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 11, isHighest: false},
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 21, isHighest: true},
],
But if the first value is higher than the second, it doesn't work so well, the output:
teamScores: [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 21, isHighest: false},
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 11, isHighest: false},
],
I need help to compare these objects properly, thanks in advance!
You'd need two iterations. One to identify the highest, and one to set the property in each object.
const teamScores = [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 21},
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 11},
];
const maxPoints = Math.max(...teamScores.map(({points}) => points));
const newTeams = teamScores.map(o => ({...o, isHighest: o.points === maxPoints}));
console.log(newTeams);First find the highest with Math.max, then compare points of every elements with the max.
var teamScores = [
{ teamName: "Team name 1", points: 21 },
{ teamName: "Team name 2", points: 11 },
];
const max = Math.max(...teamScores.map((x) => x.points));
teamScores = teamScores.map((x) => ({...x, isHighest: x.points === max}));
console.log(teamScores);
map over each object to get an array of the all the points.Math.max finds the highest value from a list of values. Because we're passing it an array we have to spread the values out).isHighest is set to true or false if the object's points value matches the highest value.const scores = [
{ teamName: 'Team name 1', points: 21 },
{ teamName: 'Team name 2', points: 11 }
];
// Collate the points
const points = scores.map(obj => obj.points);
// Find the highest point
const highest = Math.max(...points);
// `spread` out the initial object into a new object
// and add the new `isHighest` value
const out = scores.map(obj => {
return { ...obj, isHighest: obj.points === highest };
});
console.log(out);
