Filtering of the array of objects

I'm trying to filter the array:

const arr = [
{
  id: '1',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '2',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '2',
  modifiedTime: '2022-09-12T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '3',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
];

to get results:

const arr = [
{
  id: '1',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '2',
  modifiedTime: '2022-09-12T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '3',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
];

so, I need to filter the array in that way to stay with objects without duplicates, when an object has a duplicate, it should get only one with the largest modifiedTime.

I was trying to do this in that way:

arr.reduce((arr, el) => (((arr.find(({id}) => el.id === id)) || arr.push(el)), arr), [])

but in this way, it returns to me an array without objects with duplicates id but modifiedTime is not the largest.

Maybe someone will be able to suggest it to me?

You have 3 cases :

  • If the item is not in the array, simply push it
  • If the item is already but has a smaller time : don't do anything
  • If the item is already but has an higher time : replace the item with the new one

This can be done using the js splice method

const arr = [{
    id: '1',
    modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    modifiedTime: '2022-09-12T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '3',
    modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
];

console.log(
  arr.reduce((acc, curr) => {
    const index = acc.findIndex(x => x.id === curr.id)
    if(index === -1) acc.push(curr)
    else {
      if(new Date(acc[index].modifiedTime) < new Date(curr.modifiedTime))
        acc.splice(index, 1, curr)
    }
    
    return acc
  }, [])
)

Filter, Remove Duplicates, Results!

// sort by ID and Modified Time cols
const sortByIDandModifiedTime = (arr) => {
    return arr.sort((a, b) => {
       if (a['id'] != b['id']) // if not same ids then sort
            return a['id'] - b['id'];
       else // if same ids sort by modified time
            return a['modifiedTime'] - b['modifiedTime'];
       });
   };

// Remove all Duplicates, uses the items ID
const removeDups = (arr) => {
  let groupByID = arr.map(item=>{return [item.id,item];});
  let mapGroup = new Map(groupByID);
  let getMapvalues = mapGroup.values();
  let decomposeIntoAnArray = [...getMapvalues];
return decomposeIntoAnArray;
}


// load data
let arr = [
  {
    id: '1',
    modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    modifiedTime: '2022-09-12T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '3',
    modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
    modifiedUser: 'test'
  },
];

// remove dups using function

// sort first
let sortarr = sortByIDandModifiedTime(arr);
// then filter
let newarr = removeDups(sortarr);
// log output
console.log(newarr);

"...but modifiedTime is not hte largest." => you have to add the implementation of the case where you find 2 objects with the same id, and decide which of them you need.

const arr = [
{
  id: '1',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '2',
  modifiedTime: '2022-09-12T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '2',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
{
  id: '3',
  modifiedTime: '2022-08-11T12:30:36.191Z',
  modifiedUser: 'test'
},
];

const getHighestModifiedTime = (obj1, obj2) => obj1.modifiedTime.localeCompare(obj2.modifiedTime) > -1 ? obj1 : obj2

const res = arr.reduce((obj, el) => ({
  ...obj,
  [el.id]: obj[el.id] ? getHighestModifiedTime(obj[el.id], el) : el
}), {});

console.log(res)
