reduce can take the index of the current array element as the 3rd parameter. you can then pass it to your accumulator and in the final array can do what you want with it
var shipTo = [
{ addressLine1: "address 1", name: "Jeff" },
{ addressLine1: "address 2", name: "Taylor" },
{ addressLine1: "address 1", name: "Megan" },
{ addressLine1: "address 3", name: "Madison" },
];
function groupArrayOfObjects(list, key) {
return list.reduce(function (rv, x, idx) {
(rv[x[key]] = rv[x[key]] || []).push({...x, index:idx+1});
return rv;
}, {});
}
const groupedAddress = groupArrayOfObjects(shipTo, "addressLine1");
console.log(groupedAddress)
//for completeness
Object.values(groupedAddress).forEach((address) => {
let addressName = address[0].addressLine1
let joinedIndices = address.map(({index}) => index).join(" & ")
console.log(`Shipping Address for Shipment ${joinedIndices} is "${addressName}"`)
})
