Merge Array of Objects by Property using Lodash

Question

I have two arrays of objects that represent email addresses that have a label and a value:

var original = [
  {
    label: \'private\',
    value: \'private@         


        

Answer 1

_.unionBy():
This method is like _.union except that it accepts iteratee which is invoked for each element of each arrays to generate the criterion by which uniqueness is computed. Result values are chosen from the first array in which the value occurs.

var original = [
  { label: 'private', value: 'private@johndoe.com' },
  { label: 'work', value: 'work@johndoe.com' }
];

var update = [
  { label: 'private', value: 'me@johndoe.com' },
  { label: 'school', value: 'schol@johndoe.com' }
];

var result = _.unionBy(update, original, "label");

console.log(result);
