VistasHow to groud data array from backend by date Month
I am currently creating an animal shelter web app using mern and i have trouble grouping data by date month. so i have this schema for the rescued date:
const animalSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
date_rescued: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now,
},
})
module.exports = mongoose.model('Animal', animalSchema);And here on my animal controller backend this is my query for fetching the datas:
exports.getRescuedChart = async(req,res,next) => {
const rescuedanimals = await Animal.find({}).select(['date_rescued']);
res.status(200).json({
success:true,
rescuedanimals,
})
}the data that this function is returning to the state is this:
what i want to have is group them by data and count how many object has the same date.
rescuedanimals =[
{
date_rescued: "April",
animal_count: 8
}
]

so yeah i just learn how to do it myself so here's what i did.
first is that i installed dataeformat library: 'npm install dateformat' i import it on my project: import dateFormat from 'dateformat';
what i did first is to change the date format and reduce duplicate dates.
const groups = rescuedanimals.reduce(
(groups, rescued_animal) => {
const date = dateFormat(rescued_animal.date_rescued[0], "mmmm")
if (!groups[date]) {
groups[date]=[]
}
groups[date].push(rescued_animal);
return groups;
}, {}
)after that i created a new function to put this on an arraay and also to get the legnth of the objects that are in that date.
const groupArrays = Object.keys(groups).map((date) => {
return {
date,
games: groups[date].length
};
