Get the element with the highest occurrence in an array

Question

I\'m looking for an elegant way of determining which element has the highest occurrence (mode) in a JavaScript array.

For example, in

[\'pear\', \'a

Here is another ES6 way of doing it with O(n) complexity

const result = Object.entries(
    ['pear', 'apple', 'orange', 'apple'].reduce((previous, current) => {
        if (previous[current] === undefined) previous[current] = 1;
        else previous[current]++;
        return previous;
    }, {})).reduce((previous, current) => (current[1] >= previous[1] ? current : previous))[0];
console.log("Max value : " + result);
