How to transform data using Lodash

Question

I dont have much experince with lodash and I want to transform my data. I tried using groupBy and map but i am unable to get the expected result. Would greatly appreciate if someone could help.

Sample Data

 var sample = [{ "changeType": 1, "type": "changeAccount", "updated": { "id": 71, "company": 124201, "user": 8622 } }, { "changeType": 2, "type": "changeAccount", "updated": { "id": 70, "company": 124201, "user": 8622 } }, { "changeType": 1, "type": "changeproduct", "updated": { "id": 15, "company": 124201, "user": 8622 } } ] // what I tried var result = _.mapValues(_.groupBy(sample, "type"), x => x.map(y => _.omit(y, "changeType"))); console.log(result);

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.15/lodash.js"></script>

Expected Result

var output = [
  {
    "type": "changeAccount",
    1: [{
      "updated": 'for changeType 1 under type changeAccount
    }],
    2: [{
      "updated": for changeType 2 under type changeAccount
    }]
  },

  {
    "type": "changeProduct",
    1: [{
      "updated": for changeType 1 under type changeProduct
    }]
  }
]

Expected Result 2

const sample2 = [
  {type:"changeAccount", changeType: [{1:[{updated}],{2:[{updated}]}}] 
]

You'll need to _.groupBy() the type , map the items to objects, and get the changeType properties by grouping again by changeType , mapping the items to take just updated, and spreading the results:

 const { map, groupBy, mapValues, pick } = _ const fn = arr => map(groupBy(arr, 'type'), (group, type) => ({ // group and map to array of objects type, ...mapValues( // spread after mapping the values to extract updated groupBy(group, 'changeType'), // group again by changeType items => items.map(item => pick(item, 'updated') // extract the updated from each item )) })) const sample = [{"changeType":1,"type":"changeAccount","updated":{"id":71,"company":124201,"user":8622}},{"changeType":2,"type":"changeAccount","updated":{"id":70,"company":124201,"user":8622}},{"changeType":1,"type":"changeproduct","updated":{"id":15,"company":124201,"user":8622}}] const result = fn(sample) console.log(result)

To get expected you'll need to use the same logic used for the type objects:

 const { map, groupBy, mapValues, pick } = _ const fn = arr => map(groupBy(arr, 'type'), (group, type) => ({ // group and map to array of objects type, changeTypes: map( // spread after mapping the values to extract updated groupBy(group, 'changeType'), // group again by changeType (items, changeType) => ({ changeType, updated: items.map(item => item.updated) // extract the updated from each item }) ) })) const sample = [{"changeType":1,"type":"changeAccount","updated":{"id":71,"company":124201,"user":8622}},{"changeType":2,"type":"changeAccount","updated":{"id":70,"company":124201,"user":8622}},{"changeType":1,"type":"changeproduct","updated":{"id":15,"company":124201,"user":8622}}] const result = fn(sample) console.log(result)
