Group and count values in an array

Question

I have an array with objects, like the following.

b = {
  \"issues\": [{
    \"fields\": {
      \"status\": {
        \"id\": \"200\",
        \"name\": \"B         


        

Answer 1

Something like this should do the trick. Simply iterate over your data, keep 2 counters with the number of each type of issue, and create the data format you want in the end. Try it live on jsfiddle.

var b = {
    "issues": [{
        "fields": {
            "status": {
                "id": "200",
                "name": "Backlog"
            }
        }
    }, {
        "fields": {
            "status": {
                "id": "202",
                "name": "close"
            }
        }
    }, {
        "fields": {
            "status": {
                "id": "201",
                "name": "close"
            }
        }
    }]
};

var data = [];
for(var issue of b.issues){
    var entryFound = false;
    var tempObj = {
        name: issue.fields.status.name,
        count: 1
    };

    for(var item of data){
        if(item.name === tempObj.name){
        item.count++;
        entryFound = true;
        break;
      }
    }

    if(!entryFound){
        data.push(tempObj);
    }
}
console.log(data);
