Javascript group objects by property [closed]

Answer 1

You could use a hash table for groupiung by date and assign the single group to the result array.

var list = [{ date: "2017-01-01", type: "type1", amount: 100 }, { date: "2017-01-01", type: "type2", amount: 150 }, { date: "2017-01-02", type: "type1", amount: 200 }],
    result = [];

list.forEach(function (hash) {
    return function (a) {
        if (!hash[a.date]) {
            hash[a.date] = { date: a.date, activities: []};
            result.push(hash[a.date]);
        }
        hash[a.date].activities.push({ type: a.type, amount: a.amount });
    };
}(Object.create(null)));

console.log(result);

.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
