I have an array of objects sorted by date:
const alerts = [{
id: 1, date: '2018-10-31T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Joke', title: 'this is the first 1'
}, {
id: 2, date: '2018-10-30T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Mark', title: 'this is the second one'
}]
I am trying to 'group' the alerts by date so trying to create 'datesections' which have a dateheader, the result should be something like:
const sections = [{
date: '2018-10-31T23:18:31.000Z',
heading: 'today',
alerts: [{ id: 1, date: '2018-10-31T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Joke',
title: 'this is the first one' }]
}, {
date: '2018-10-30T23:18:31.000Z',
heading: 'Yesterday',
alerts: [{ id: 2, date: '2018-05-30T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Mark',
title: 'this is the second one' }]
}]
I tried something this but can't figure out how to get the alerts with the same date in the alerts prop:
const sections2=alerts.map(a =>
({
date: a.date,
heading:'today new',
alerts:alerts
})
)
const alerts = [
{ id: 1, date: '2018-10-31T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Joke', title: 'this is the first 1' },
{ id: 2, date: '2018-05-30T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Mark', title: 'this is the second one' }
]
const grouping = _.groupBy(alerts, element => element.date.substring(0, 10))
const sections = _.map(grouping, (items, date) => ({
date: date,
alerts: items
}));
console.log(sections);

Can't help you with headings - what if it's neither "today" or "yesterday"?
I feel like you are asking a couple of things here. The key one is how to group by day with a date.
To do that you will first need to know how to group. This answer may help with that.
As far as how to group by day there are a number of ways to do that. Simplest I can think of is to cut off everything after the "T" in the date string and sort that.
From my point of view it's not really a map what you need here, map will return a new array but not what you want. You can do this with 2 for statements
let total = [];
for (let j = 0; j < alerts.length; j++) {
let item = alerts[j];
let foundDate = false;
for (let i = 0; i < total.length; i++) {
if (total[i].date === item.date) {
foundDate = true;
total.alerts.push(item);
}
}
if (!foundDate) {
console.log("!found");
total.push({
date: item.date,
heading: "Yesterday",
alerts: [item]
});
}
}
If you console.log yout total array, will contain what you want.
If you need any other explanation pls let me know.
You can use a regular expression to match the part of the date you want and then group your data. You can add there the header you want. Hope this helps.
const alerts = [
{ id: 1, date: '2018-10-31T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Joke', title: 'this is the first 1' },
{ id: 2, date: '2018-10-30T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Mark', title: 'this is the second one' },
{ id: 3, date: '2018-10-30T23:14:32.000Z', name: 'Mark', title: 'this is the third one' }
];
const groupByDate = (data) => {
return data.reduce((acc, val) => {
const date = val.date.match(/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/g).toString();
const item = acc.find((item) => item.date.match(new RegExp(date, 'g')));
if (!item) acc.push({ date: val.date, alerts: [val], heading: 'some heading' });
else item.alerts.push(val);
return acc;
}, []);
};
console.log(groupByDate(alerts));
Maybe you need something like this? Didn't have much time for this and last array parsing might be done in more elegant way ;)
var alerts = [
{ id: 1, date: '2018-10-31T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Joke', title: 'this is the first 1' },

{ id: 4, date: '2018-10-30T23:45:31.000Z', name: 'Mark1', title: 'this is the 3rd' },
{ id: 5, date: '2018-10-27T23:18:31.000Z', name: 'Mark2', title: 'this is the 4th' },
];
var processedAlerts = [], finalAlerts;
(function(initAlerts){
//iterate through array to make keys to group by day
for(var i = 0; i < initAlerts.length; i++){
processedAlerts[i] = initAlerts[i];
//substring here can be more sophisticated - this was faster
initAlerts[i].keyDate = initAlerts[i].date.substr(0, 10);
}
//supporting function to convert string to date
//to acheve more detailed sorting that includes time
//just use date object and use hours, minutes and/or seconds to create Date object
function dateFromString(strDate){
var date, tmpDate;
//convert string to array - I assume that date format is always the same
//yyyy-mm-dd and will become Array 0: year, 1: month, 2: day of the month
tmpDate = strDate.split("-");
//moths in js are zero pased so Jan is 0, Feb is 1 and so on
//so we want to substract 1 from human readable month value to get correct date
date = new Date(tmpDate[0], tmpDate[1]-1, tmpDate[2]);
return date;
}
//function used to compare dates and passed to sort function
function comparedates(obj1, obj2){
var date1, date2;
date1 = dateFromString(obj1.keyDate);
date2 = dateFromString(obj2.keyDate);
let comparison = 0;
if(date1>date2){
comparison = 1;
} else if(date1<date2){
comparison = -1;
}
//to achieve reverse just multiply comparison result by -1
return comparison*(-1);
}

//here place logic to generate header
//this involves comparing dates probably from keyDate
return "temp header: " + date.toString()
}
//sort the array by keyDate from newest to oldest
processedAlerts.sort(comparedates);
//final array rebuild
//pass here sorted array
finalAlerts = (function(arrayAlerts){
var aAlerts = [], k = 0;
for(var j = 0; j < arrayAlerts.length; j++){
//check if entry for date exists
//if no than create it
if(!aAlerts[k]){
aAlerts[k] = {
//removed title because I asummed that each alert has unique title and put them in alerts instead
date: arrayAlerts[j].keyDate, //agroupped date

//here you can shape the alert object how you need
//I just passed it as it was

} else {
//add another alert to day

if(arrayAlerts[j-1] && (arrayAlerts[j].keyDate == arrayAlerts[j-1].keyDate)){

It works except when the subject unless the subject is the same name. Then I get the first date to the second subject that is the same.
I can't change the array since it's through API. However can I make so somehow if the first date is already set on math, then it should add the second date to second subject? Now the second subject get's the first date
var subjects = [
{ name: "math" }, //The first
{ name: "sports" },
{ name: "math" }, //The second
{ name: "art" },
];
var subjectdates = [
{ name: "math", year: 2017 }, //first date
{ name: "sports", year: 2018 },
{ name: "math", year: 2019 }, //second date
{ name: "art", year: 2020 },
];
const addDates = subjects.map((classes) => ({
subject: classes,
end_subject_date: subjectdates.find((item) => classes.name == item.name),
}));
console.log(addDates);
Using Array#reduce on subjectdates, construct a Map where the key is the name and the value is a list of the elements of this name.
Then, in the loop, to get the end_subject_date, you can use Map#get to get the list of elements of this name, and Array#shift to get and remove the first element:
const
subjects = [ {name:"math"}, {name:"sports"}, {name:"math"}, {name:"art"} ],
subjectdates = [ {name:"math",year:2017}, {name:"sports",year:2018}, {name:"math",year:2019}, {name:"art",year:2020} ];
const subjectDatesMap = subjectdates.reduce((map, item) =>
map.set(
item.name,
[...(map.get(item.name) || []), item]
)
, new Map);
const addDates = subjects.map(classes => ({
subject: classes,
end_subject_date: (subjectDatesMap.get(classes.name) || []).shift()
}));
console.log(addDates);
If you have the same keys in arrays:
Sort array by keys:
subjects = subjects.sort((a,b)=>a.name>b.name?1:-1);
subjectdates = subjectdates.sort((a,b)=>a.name>b.name?1:-1);
Insert values by index:
const result = subjects.map((s, i)=>
({ subject:s.name, end_subject_date:subjectdates[i].year}) );
I've rewritten this into a simplified form to demonstrate, I have an array of pickers who have an array of time entries, I'm using reduce to summarise time entries by type on the pickers & then a second reduce to show global entries across both pickers.
The first reduce per picker works as expected.
The second reduce on global time entries works as expected but somehow changes the entries for the first picker ( Sam ).
Sam & John pick the same amount.
Apples 2h, Peaches 2h, Lemons 1h
Is there a better way to write this? Is there a concept I've failed to understand?

// Reducer Function
function entryReducer(summary, entry) {
// find an index if the types of fruit are the same

});
if (index === -1) {
summary.push(entry);
} else {
summary[index].hours = summary[index].hours + entry.hours;
}

Even though with each reducer you pass a new array [], the actual objects contained by these arrays could be shared. This means when you edit one of the objects in array "A", the objects could also change in array "B".
You know how some languages let you pass variables by value or by reference and how this fundamentally changes how values are handled? JavaScript technically uses call-by-sharing. I suggest reading this other answer: Is JavaScript a pass-by-reference or pass-by-value language?
once an element in an array is pushed into a different array it is separate in memory?
No, it isn't. In JavaScript you will always remember when you made an individual copy of an object (or at least wanted to), because that needs some effort, see What is the most efficient way to deep clone an object in JavaScript? or How do I correctly clone a JavaScript object?
So, just like when you use a=b, push(a) into an array refers the original object. See this example where there is a single object accessible via two variables (x and y), and via both elements of array z. So modifying it as z[1] affects all the others:
let x={a:5};
let y=x;
let z=[x];
z.push(y);
z[1].a=4;
console.log(x);
console.log(y);
console.log(z[0]);
console.log(z[1]);
As your objects are value-like ones and do not have anything what JSON would not support (like member functions), JSON-based cloning can work on them:
function testBug() {
// Reducer Function
function entryReducer(summary, entry) {
// find an index if the types of fruit are the same
let index = summary.findIndex((item) => {
return item.type.id === entry.type.id;
});
if (index === -1) {
//summary.push(entry);
summary.push(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(entry))); // <--- the only change
} else {
summary[index].hours = summary[index].hours + entry.hours;
}
return summary;
}
let pickers = [
{id: 1, identifier: "Sam Smith", timeEntries: [
{type: {id: 1, name: "Apples",}, hours: 1,},

if (picker.timeEntries.length > 0) {

// push to pickers summary arr
pickersSummary.push(picker);
// push time entries to a summary array for later reduce

}

Now it probably displays what you expected, but in the background it still alters the pickers themselves, you have that picker.timeEntries = ... line running after all. It may be worth mentioning that const something = xy; means that you can not write something = yz; later, something will stick with a given entity. But, if that entity is an object, its internals can still be changed, that happens with picker.timeEntries above (while writing picker = 123; would fail).
bit of a newbie! I am trying to re-populate a carousel of images... based on an array of search results. But really hitting surprising amount of issues.
I'm using JS/Jquery and have, say, an array of objects that exist from my api:
let arrayOfObjects = [
{id: 0, title: 'Beauty & The Beast', img: 'https://imgthing1.com' },
{id: 1, title: 'The Brainiac', img: 'https://imgthing2.com' },
{id: 2, title: 'Mac and Me', img: 'https://imgthing3.com' }
];
Then i have my searchTerm which i want to filter the array down, and return a new array of results from:-
function checkWords(searchTerm, arr) {
let results = [];
let st = searchTerm.toLowerCase();
// **** i map through the array - if the search term (say its 'a' is the same
// as the first character of an object's 'title'... then it stores
// that object in results, ready to be rendered. ****
arr.map((each) => {
if (st === each.title.charAt(0)) {
results.push(each)
}
})
console.log(finalResults);
}
But i can't work out how to keep it matching... based on:
'Bea' vs 'Beauty & The Beast' - pass.
'Beat' vs 'Beauty & The Beast' - fail.
You could use Array#filter and check if the string contains the wanted string at position zero.
let arrayOfObjects = [{ id: 0, title: 'Beauty & The Beast', img: 'https://imgthing1.com' }, { id: 1, title: 'The Brainiac', img: 'https://imgthing2.com' }, { id: 2, title: 'Mac and Me', img: 'https://imgthing3.com' }];
function checkWords(searchTerm, arr) {
let st = searchTerm.toLowerCase();
return arr.filter(each => each.title.toLowerCase().indexOf(st) === 0);
}
console.log(checkWords('bea', arrayOfObjects));
I need help with something that might be a common problem and something that others would benefit from as well, which is to modify dates in an object and combine them into a chronological list. The overall goal is to create a list which reflects all of the upcoming special dates in a year:
1 Jan - Sharpe's Anniversary
2 May - Edward's Birthday
12 Dec - Zero's Anniversary
etc...
I began by creating an object to represent this. Then slice out the year so that a comparison won't just arrange them by their order of initial occurrence, but will give an annual basis. Then perform a comparison to arrange the dates in chronological order. Then log out the result with the matching person's identity.
Up to this point I got it to work. However, I do not know how to repeat this and make it DRY. Certainly it would be sloppy to run this for anniversaries, then for birthdays without making some sort of custom function. All my attempts have not ended successfully.
Does anyone have a more elegant solution?
Much thanks to the community here :)
// Sample data
var items = [{
name: 'Edward',
anniversary: "2015-01-23",
birthday: "1988-05-02"
},
{
name: 'Sharpe',
anniversary: "2017-01-01",
birthday: "1988-05-10"
},
{
name: 'And',
anniversary: "2018-05-10",
birthday: "1988-06-12"
},
{
name: 'The',
anniversary: "1988-08-11",
birthday: "1979-03-12"
},
{
name: 'Magnetic',
anniversary: "2017-01-05",
birthday: "1956-06-21"
},
{
name: 'Zeros',
anniversary: "1990-12-12",
birthday: "1935-07-23"
}
];
// Slice out the year so that dates are annualized
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
items[i].anniversary = items[i].anniversary.slice(5, 10);
};
// Sort dates in chronological order
items.sort(function(a, b) {
return new Date(a.anniversary) - new Date(b.anniversary);
});
// Console.log the dates with their associated name
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
console.log(items[i].anniversary + " " + items[i].name);
}
When you remove the year from a date like "1988-08-11" you get "08-11". If you then parse this with the built-in Date parser, you'll either get an invalid date, or a date for 1 November 0008, when the original date was for 11 August. The parser will see a year and a month, and use 1 for the missing day.
But don't dispair! The ISO 8601 date format can be sorted as a string, so do as you are and sort as strings, not dates, e.g.
// Sample data
var items = [{
name: 'Edward',
anniversary: "2015-01-23",
birthday: "1988-05-02"
},
{
name: 'Sharpe',
anniversary: "2017-01-01",
birthday: "1988-05-10"
},
{
name: 'And',
anniversary: "2018-05-10",
birthday: "1988-06-12"
},
{
name: 'The',
anniversary: "1988-08-11",
birthday: "1979-03-12"
},
{
name: 'Magnetic',
anniversary: "2017-01-05",
birthday: "1956-06-21"
},
{
name: 'Zeros',
anniversary: "1990-12-12",
birthday: "1935-07-23"
}
];
// Get the events
var specialDates = items.reduce(function(acc, item) {
acc.push([item.name, item.anniversary.substr(5), 'Anniversary'], [item.name, item.birthday.substr(5), 'Birthday']);
return acc;
}, []).sort(function (a, b) { // sort on month
return a[1].localeCompare(b[1]);
}).map(function(event) { // Replace month number with short name
var months = [,'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun',
'Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
return [event[0], months[+event[1].split('-')[0]] + ' ' + event[1].substr(3), event[2]];
});
// Write result
specialDates.forEach(function(event) {
console.log(event[1] + ': ' + event[0] + ' ' + event[2]);
});
This could be a bit smarter and get the event name from the original object so that you can add as many event types as you want and not have them hard coded, so an object like:
var items = [{
name: 'Edward',
events: {
anniversary: "2015-01-23",
birthday: "1988-05-02"
}
},
...
Also note that new Date("2015-01-23") will treat the string as UTC (timezone offset +00:00), so for hosts west of Greenwich the date might appear to be the day before.
let goal = items
.map( ({ name, anniversary }) => ({ name, 'anniversary': anniversary.slice( 5, 10 ) }) )
.sort( ({ 'anniversary': a }, { 'anniversary': b }) => {
if( a > b ) return 1;
if( a < b ) return -1;
return 0;
}
.map( ({ name, anniversary }) => anniversary + ' ' + name );
goal.forEach( item => { console.log( item ); });
A query returns an array of objects from a collection. I want to add a field to each of the objects in that array, and update another field in every object of the array.
Products array before update:
[{ _id: 58d895b8ffc0346230a43a89,
event: 'Junior Girls 12s',
group: 'nonpro',
price: 50,
day: 'Friday' },
{ _id: 59d895b8ffc0346230a43a89,
event: 'Junior Girls 14s',
group: 'nonpro',
price: 50,
day: 'Friday', }]
My code to update the array of objects:
//add the field and changed price if late fee applies
for(var i = 0; i < products.length; i++) {
products[i].field = registered.frifield;
console.log(products[i].field);
if(settings.latefeeamt > 0 && settings.frilatefee === true) {
products[i].price += settings.latefeeamt;
}
console.log(products[i]);
console.log(events.friday);
}
How products array SHOULD look after update:
[{ _id: 58d895b8ffc0346230a43a89,
event: 'Junior Girls 12s',
group: 'nonpro',
price: 60,
day: 'Friday',
field: 'Main' },
{ _id: 59d895b8ffc0346230a43a89,
event: 'Junior Girls 14s',
group: 'nonpro',
price: 60,
day: 'Friday',
field: 'Main' }]
How can I get this to work? It console.logs the correct field inside the loop, but I get the original array when it's done.
As a rule, Don't change the array you are iterating, it's bad practice.
You can use map : array.map
var array = products.map((element, index) => {
element.field = registered.frifield;
if(settings.latefeeamt > 0 && settings.frilatefee === true) {
element.price += settings.latefeeamt;
}
return element
});
This should return an array, inside you will have the updated product list
Hi there i wasn't sure about this portion of code because settings isn't defined
if(settings.latefeeamt > 0 && settings.frilatefee === true) {
products[i].price += settings.latefeeamt;
}
Here you have a code that works i change the condition depending on the day, you can update it depending on your specification hope it helps
var products = [{
_id: '58d895b8ffc0346230a43a89',
event: 'Junior Girls 12s',
group: 'nonpro',
price: 50,
day: 'Friday'
},
{
_id: '58d895b8ffc0346230a43a89',
event: 'Junior Girls 14s',
group: 'nonpro',
price: 50,
day: 'moday',
}];
console.log(products);
for(product of products) {
