Let's say I have the following two-dimensional array:
const array = [[1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 1], [2, 2]];
What I want to do is to find all the values under first index which have common zero index value. So the result should be the following:
[[1, [1, 2]], [2, [1, 2]]]
Or maybe Map would look better:
[Map(1 => [1, 2]), Map(2 => [1, 2])]
How can I do that? With or without lodash. My solution looks a bit bloated and messy:
const array = [[1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 1], [2, 2]];
const grouppedCartItemsMap = new Map();
array.forEach((item) => {
const [locationId, contractId] = item;
if (!grouppedCartItemsMap.has(locationId)) {
grouppedCartItemsMap.set(locationId, [contractId]);
} else {
const existingItem = grouppedCartItemsMap.get(locationId);
if (!existingItem.includes(contractId)) {
grouppedCartItemsMap.set(locationId, [...existingItem, contractId]);
}
}
});
console.log(grouppedCartItemsMap);If an object would work:
const array = [[1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 1], [2, 2]];
const grouped = {};
for (const [first, last] of array) {
grouped[first] ??= [];
grouped[first].push(last);
}
console.log(grouped);This looks like a use case for reduce:
const array = [[1, 1], [1, 2], [2, 1], [2, 2]];
const grouppedCartItemsMap = array.reduce((acc, [locationId, contractId]) => {
if (!acc.has(locationId)) acc.set(locationId, [contractId]);
else acc.get(locationId).push(contractId);
return acc;
}, new Map());
console.log([...grouppedCartItemsMap.entries()]);
