Group By and Sum using Underscore/Lodash

Question

I have JSON like this:

[
  {
     platformId: 1,
     payout: 15,
     numOfPeople: 4
  },
  {
     platformId: 1,
     payout: 12,
     numOfPeople: 3

  }         


        

Answer 1

A (in my opinion) nice functional way using underscore.js:

var sum = function(t, n) { return t + n; };
_.mapObject(
    _.groupBy(data, 'platformId'),
    function(values, platformId) {
        return {
            payout: _.reduce(_.pluck(values, 'payout'), sum, 0),
            numOfPeople: _.reduce(_.pluck(values, 'numOfPeople'), sum, 0)
        };
    }
);
