var movies = [
{
"Title": "Inception",
"Year": "2010",
"Director": "Christopher Nolan"
},
{
"Title": "Interstellar",
"Year": "2014",
"Director": "Christopher Nolan"
},
{
"Title": "Avatar",
"Year": "2009",
"Director": "James Cameron"
},
{
"Title": "The Dark Knight",
"Year": "2008",
"Director": "Christopher Nolan"
},
{
"Title": "Batman Begins",
"Year": "2005",
"Director": "Christopher Nolan"
}
];
console.table(movies.groupBy('Director'));
The groupBy('Director') method should return 2 groups - 1st "Christopher Nolan" group and 2nd "James Cameron" group. Every group should contain the list of associated movies.
Now let's have a look at the method implementation.
Array.prototype.groupBy = function(field){
let groupedArr = [];
this.forEach(function(e){
//look for an existent group
let group = groupedArr.find(g => g['field'] === e[field]);
if (group == undefined){
//add new group if it doesn't exist
group = {field: e[field], groupList: []};
groupedArr.push(group);
}
//add the element to the group
group.groupList.push(e);
});
return groupedArr;
}
