How to get objects with a common property from an array in lodash?

Question

Hello there good Samaritan, i would like to use Lodash and find the user with most books in the array.

const books = [ {id:0, name: 'Adam', title: 'xx'}, {id:1, name:'Jack', title:'yy'}, { id: 2, name: 'Adam',title:'zz' } ]

Thanks in advance:)

Answer 1

function search_book(nameKey, myArray){
    for (var i=0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
        if (myArray[i].book === nameKey) {
            return myArray[i];
        }
    }
}

var array = [
    { book:"deep learning", value:"this", other: "that" },
    { book:"ml", value:"this", other: "that" }
];

var resultObject = search_book("ml", array);

console.log(resultObject)

Answer 2

_.filter(list, { name: 'Adam' })

Answer 3

var group = _.countBy(list, function(item){return item.name});    

That will get the counts of author in the list, then you can sort and find the one with the largest.

Answer 4

You can generate a function with lodash's _.flow() :

1. Count the objects by the name property
2. Convert the resulting object of the previous step to [key, value] pairs,
3. Find the pair with the max value
4. Get the key (the name)

 const { flow, countBy, toPairs, maxBy, tail, head } = _ const fn = flow( arr => countBy(arr, 'name'), // count by name toPairs, // convert to [key, value] pairs arr => maxBy(arr, tail), // find the max by the value (tail) head // get the key (head) ) const books = [ {id:0, name: 'Adam', title: 'xx'}, {id:1, name:'Jack', title:'yy'}, { id: 2, name: 'Adam',title:'zz' } ] const result = fn(books) console.log(result)

And the same idea using Lodash/fp :

 const { flow, countBy, toPairs, maxBy, tail, head } = _ const fn = flow( countBy('name'), // count by name toPairs, // convert to [key, value] pairs maxBy(tail), // find the max by the value (tail) head // get the key (head) ) const books = [ {id:0, name: 'Adam', title: 'xx'}, {id:1, name:'Jack', title:'yy'}, { id: 2, name: 'Adam',title:'zz' } ] const result = fn(books) console.log(result)
