如果数组为空，JavaScript reduce返回null

Question

I need the count of my objects in the array based on their type. I don't know what I'm missing here, but this is what I do:

myCounts = (myArray || []).reduce(function _countMembersByType(counts, member) {
  return counts[member.type === productType.GROUP ? 'groupCount' : 'individualCount']++;
}, {groupCount: 0 , individualCount: 0});

When myArray has members, myCounts will be null . Otherwise, it will be an object as myCounts: {"groupCount":0,"individualCount":0} as I would expect.

I'm new to JS and would appreciate any help!

Your returning the result of plus 1'ing, so in the next iteration, previous or counts will be a number not your base object.

You need to return the whole object.

myCounts = (myArray || []).reduce(function _countMembersByType(counts, member) {
  counts[member.type === productType.GROUP ? 'groupCount' : 'individualCount']++;
  return counts;
}, {
  groupCount: 0,
  individualCount: 0
});
