Splitting a 2-Dimensional Array

I have this 2 dimensional array of tasks

const graph = [
    ['tie your shoes', 'put on your shoes'],
    ['put on your jacket', 'put on your shirt'],
    ['put on your shoes', 'put on your shorts'],
    ['put on your jacket', 'put on your shorts'],
    ['buy eggs from store', 'cook eggs'],
    ['heat up skillet', 'cook eggs']
]

I need to split up this graph into two separate arrays if the they have no association to each other. (i.e., putting shoes on and cooking eggs have no association/relation within the graph)

Each array within the graph is an association of tasks. An association can be traced between two tasks if they can be traced back to a single common task - putting on your jacket can be traced back to putting on your socks

The result should look like this

const graph_1 = [
    ['tie your shoes', 'put on your shoes'],
    ['put on your jacket', 'put on your shirt'],
    ['put on your shoes', 'put on your shorts'],
    ['put on your jacket', 'put on your shorts']
]

const graph_2 = [
    ['buy eggs from store', 'cook eggs'],
    ['cook eggs', 'heat up skillet']
]

I'm not worried about sorting them at the moment - only concerned with splitting them up

You could use a combo of loops to check against an array that contains keywords.

const graph = [
    ['tie your shoes', 'put on your shoes'],
    ['put on your jacket', 'put on your shirt'],
    ['put on your shoes', 'put on your shorts'],
    ['put on your jacket', 'put on your shorts'],
    ['buy eggs from store', 'cook eggs'],
    ['heat up skillet', 'cook eggs']
]

// Keywords
const clothes = ['shoes', 'jacket', 'shorts']
const foods = ['eggs', 'heat', 'skillet']

// Creating graph 1
const graph_1 = graph.filter(array => {
  return array.reduce((arr, str) => {
    clothes.forEach(item => {
      if (str.includes(item)) {
        arr.push(str)
      }
    })
    return arr
  }, []).length
})

// Creating graph 2
const graph_2 = graph.filter(array => {
  return array.reduce((arr, str) => {
    foods.forEach(item => {
      if (str.includes(item)) {
        arr.push(str)
      }
    })
    return arr
  }, []).length
})

console.log(graph_1)
console.log(graph_2)
