Using a double groupBy in lodash

So I am trying to categorize an array of objects by a certain attribute. Using groupBy works great the first time. Now I need to loop through those groupings and group them again based on a separate attribute. I am having trouble with this can someone help me out?
TS
this.accountService.getAccountListWithBalance().subscribe(accounts => {
this.accountList = _.groupBy(accounts, 'category');
for (var property in this.accountList) {
if (this.accountList.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
this.accountList.property = _.groupBy(this.accountList.property, 'subcategory');
}
}
generateArray(obj){
return Object.keys(obj).map((key)=>{ return {key:key, value:obj[key]}});
}
HTML:
<ul *ngFor="let item of generateArray(accountList)">
<strong>{{ item.key }}</strong>
<li *ngFor="let i of item.value">{{i.name}}</li>
</ul>
The HTML isnt set for the next level of interation but I know it isnt working if I just console log the resulting object. Like I said its being sorted the first time just not the second time.

I was able to get it to work by just changing my syntax. Using [] instead of . so the working code is as follows.
this.accountService.getAccountListWithBalance().subscribe(accounts => {
this.accountList = _.groupBy(accounts, 'category');
for (var property in this.accountList) {
if (this.accountList.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
this.accountList[property] = _.groupBy(this.accountList[property], 'subcategory');
}
}

I believe that when you are looping through accounts grouped by category, you should try group each category grouped item based on subcategory like this;
this.accountList = _.groupBy(accounts, 'category');
_.foreach(this.accountList, function(categoryAccount) {
_.groupBy(categoryAccount, 'subcategory');
});

VueJs - DOM not updating on array mutation

I have a model in which I'm initializing an array on ajax success after the model is mounted
var self = this;
$.getJSON("somejson.json",
function (data) {
var list = [];
list = data.list.map(function (item) {
return { id: item.id, text: item.text };
});
self.selectableItems = list;
});
I have a click method on each of these items which removes the item from selectableItems
select: function (item) {
this.selectableItems.pop(item);
},
selectableItems renders correctly initially, but when I mutate the array, the dom isn't updating. Although the actual array is being modified correctly.
I verified this by having a computed property that returns the count of selectableItems. This count is updated correctly when the item is removed, but the dom still shows the item.
I also noticed that when I hard code the value of selectableItems in the ajax, everything works as expected!
self.selectableItems = [{ id: 1, text: "adsad"}];
I'm aware of the caveats of array mutation in vue. But I feel I'm missing something basic here, as I have just started exploring Vue.
Can someone point out on what I'm missing?

Array.pop() removes the last item from the array, it does not take any argument. It only removes the last item any argument you pass it.
That the reason your computed property showing the array count works as last item is being removed but not the item you want.
Use Array.splice()instead.
pass the index to your click method like this:
<ul>
<li v-for="(item, index) in selectableItems" #click="select(index)>{{item}}</li>
</ul>
script
select: function (index) {
this.selectableItems.splice(index, 1);
},

How do I reverse the order of an array using v-for and orderBy filter in Vue JS?

I am using Vue JS to do viewmodel bindings. In my data object I have an array of items that are sorted in ascending order (oldest to newest) and I'd like to keep it that way for code-based reasons.
var v = new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: {
items: [
{id: 51, message: 'first'},
{id: 265, message: 'second'},
{id: 32, message: 'third'}
],
}
}
However, when I display the array in the template I'd like to reverse the order so that it's descending (newest to oldest). I tried the following:
<ol>
<li v-for="item in items | orderBy -1" track-by="id">
This didn't work since the orderBy filter seems to require a field name as its first argument.
Is there any way to accomplish this in the template using the v-for syntax using the orderBy filter? Or am I going to have to create a custom reverse filter?

Simple and concise solution:
<li v-for="item in items.slice().reverse()">
//do something with item ...
</li>

Instead of reversing the order of the elements for creation, I only change the order of the display.
<ol class="reverseorder">
<li v-for="item in items" track-by="id">
And my CSS
<style>
.reverseorder {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
</style>
No need to clone the array and reverse it.

Note: The below works in Vue 1, but in Vue 2 filters are deprecated and you
will see: ' Property or method "reverse" is not defined on the
instance but referenced during render.' See tdom_93's answer for
vue2.
You could create a custom filter to return the items in reversed order:
Vue.filter('reverse', function(value) {
// slice to make a copy of array, then reverse the copy
return value.slice().reverse();
});
Then use it in the v-for expression:
<ol>
<li v-for="item in items | reverse" track-by="id">

Update for Vue2
I want to show some ways that you can work with data and not using filters as they are deprecated in Vue2:
inside computed property
Use computed properties in place of filters, which is much better because you can use that data everywhere in component, not only just in template:
jsFiddle
computed: {
reverseItems() {
return this.items.slice().reverse();
}
}
inside Vuex getter property
If you're using Vuex, and you store your data in store.state object. The best way do some transformation with data stored in state is to do that in getters object (for example filtering through a list of items and counting them, reverse order and so on...)
getters: {
reverseItems: state => {
return state.items.slice().reverse();
}
}
and retrieve state from getters in component computed property:
computed: {
showDialogCancelMatch() {
return this.$store.state.reverseItems;
}
}

Possibly I'm missing some downsides here, but how about iterating over the array from end to start using an index?
<ol>
<li v-for="i in items.length" :set="item = items[items.length - i]">
Like, if your array consists of thousands of elements, copying it with .slice().reverse() every time is probably not the most efficient approach.
Upd.: note, :set is not an official way for defining variables in template, it just works. As an alternative, the item variable could be replaced by a call to some getItem(i) method that would encapsulate the items[items.length - i] expression.

Based on the fact that the directive v-for can accept not only an array but also any other valid JavaScript iterable object (at least in Vue 2.6+ and Vue 3 releases), we can create our own iterable object to loop through a needed array in the opposite direction. I created a very simplified runnable example (for more details - check information about the JavaScript iterator protocol).
class Iterable {
constructor(arr) {
this.arr = arr;
}
*[Symbol.iterator]() {
const arr = this.arr;
for (let i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) yield arr[i];
}
getIterable(isReversedOrder) {
return isReversedOrder ? this : this.arr;
}
}
Vue.component('list', {
props: ['iterable'],
template: '<ul><li v-for="(el, i) in iterable" :key="`${i}-${el}`">{{ el }}</li></ul>'
});
const app = new Vue({
data() {
return {
todos: new Iterable(['Learn JavaScript', 'Learn Vue', 'Learn Vuex']),
isReversed: true,
inputValue: ''
};
},
computed: {
computedTodos() {
return this.todos.getIterable(this.isReversed);
}
},
methods: {
toggleReverse() {
this.isReversed = !this.isReversed;
},
addTodo() {
this.inputValue && this.todos.arr.push(this.inputValue);
this.inputValue = '';
}
}
});
app.$mount('#app');
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="display: flex; justify-content: center;">
<div id="app">
<button #click="toggleReverse">Toggle reverse to {{ !isReversed }}</button>
<br />
<input v-model="inputValue" style="margin-top:5px;" />
<button #click="addTodo" :disabled="!inputValue">Add todo</button>
<!-- <ul><li v-for="(todo, i) in computedTodos" :key="`${i}-${todo}`">{{ todo }}</li></ul> -->
<list :iterable="computedTodos" />

P.S.Try to avoid using such Array.prototype functions as shift/ unshift , reverse etc. to add / remove items from the beginning of the array or reverse the order, especially in the case when such operations are performed frequently and / or an array includes a big quantity of items, because they are quite costly as for performance (have O(n) complexity).
Another good solution is to use CSS to display elements in the reversed order (see an answer above).

The v-for directive doesn't support iterating backwards, so if you want to order by newest you're going to need to add another field to indicate when the item was added, or change id to increment every time an item is added.
Then, with field being the field indicting the order added:
<li v-for="item in items | orderBy 'field' -1" track-by="id">

For my use case (which is admittedly, apparently different than the OP...) I wanted to have the indices of the Array in reverse order in the v-for "loop."
My solution was to create a Vue app method reverseRange(length) that returns an Array of integers from length-1 to 0. I then used that in my v-for directive and simply referred to my Array elements as myArray[index] every time I needed it.
That way, the indices were in reverse order and I was able to then use them to access elements of the Array.
I hope this helps someone who landed on this page with this subtle nuance in their requirements like me.

You can use lodash reverse:
<li v-for="item in _.reverse(items)">

How to remove object from $scope without iterating array?

So, I have jsfiddle here.
We can add new nodes and delete all the children in parent node. But how can I delete specific child without iterating array? I know that we can use:
Array.prototype.splice()
If we want to remove, for example, this object (screenshot #1), we can get its index and use splice().
But if I want to remove deeply nested object, I don't want iterate array and use splice(), because of perfomance.
In my console I got only:
Object { name: "Node-8-6-2", menu: false, $$hashKey: "object:151" }
And I don't have an access to nodes of parent array. And I need to iterate all array, so that I could remove it.
Anybody knows solution of this issue?

Here is your plunker updated. http://jsfiddle.net/marduke182/uXbn6/2828/
The little changes are:
Adding the parent references to the object using parentNodes .
$scope.add = function(data) {
var post = data.nodes.length + 1;
var newName = data.name + '-' + post;
data.nodes.push({name: newName,nodes: [], parentNodes: data.nodes});
};
Create method delete node and pass the $index, do the splice to the parent given the index attribute:
$scope.delete_node = function(data, index) {
data.parentNodes.splice(index, 1);
};
Add the new method to the template:
<script type="text/ng-template" id="tree_item_renderer.html">
{{data.name}}
<button ng-click="add(data)">Add node</button>
<button ng-click="delete(data)" ng-show="data.nodes.length > 0">Delete nodes</button>
<button ng-click="delete_node(data, $index)" >Delete node {{$index}}</button>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="data in data.nodes" ng-include="'tree_item_renderer.html'"></li>
</ul>
</script>

When you are building your nested tree, you can add a parent attribute to your arrays:
var parentNode = [];
var node = [];
node.parent = parentNode;
parentNode.push(node);
Now, if you want to remove node, you can say:
var index = node.parent.indexOf(node);
node.parent.splice(index, 1);

Update Position Of Observable Array With New Item In Knockout.js

I have a situation where I need to replace a certain item in an observable array at a certain position of it. Right now I am doing it below with the slice method. Is there a better way that is built in to knockout.js to do this at a certain position? I was even thinking about doing a push, and then do a sort on that row with a order property but I have lots of rows and thought that was to much.
var position = ko.utils.arrayIndexOf(self.list(), game);
if (position != -1) {
self.list.remove(self.game);
self.list.splice(position, 0, newGame);
}
Code With Replace, Trying To Update Property Matchup That Has A New Property Called Name
var game = self.game;
if (game) {
var position = ko.utils.arrayIndexOf(self.list(), game);
if (position != -1) {
if (game.Matchup) {
game.Matchup = new Matchup(response.Data);
game.Modified(true);
}
else if (self.game) {
game = new Matchup(response.Data);
}
self.list.replace(self.list()[position], game);
}
}
HTML
<!-- ko foreach: Games -->
<td class="item-container draggable-item-container clearfix">
<div class="item clearfix draggable-active draggable-item" data-bind="draggableCss: { disabled: $data.Disabled(), matchup: $data.Matchup }, draggableGameHandler : { disabled: !$data.Matchup, disabledDrop: $data.Disabled() }, delegatedClick: $root.members.eventSchedule.editGame.open.bind($data, true, ($data.Matchup && $data.Matchup.Type == '#((int)ScheduleType.Pool)'), $parent.Games)">
<span data-bind="if: $data.Matchup">
<span data-bind="attr: { title: Matchup.Title }"><span data-bind="html: Matchup.Name"></span></span>
</span>
</div>
</td>
<!-- /ko -->
data-bind="html: Matchup.Name" doesn't update with replace.

Replacing an item in an observable array
The replace method is one option for replacing an item in an observable array. In your case, you could call it like this:
list.replace(game, newGame);
Bindings update when an observable dependency changes
But your question isn't only about replacing an item in an array. You've stated that the binding html: Matchup.Name isn't updated, so let's look at what could cause it to update:
If Name is an observable, modifying Name will cause an update.
If Matchup is an observable, modifying it will cause an update, but then you'd have to bind it like Matchup().Name and update it like game.Matchup(Matchup(response.Data));.
Replacing the entry in the observable array (is it Games or list?) with a new object will cause the whole inner template to re-render, obviously replacing each binding.
Looking through your code, I can see that in one case (if (game.Matchup)), none of these three things happen, and thus there's no way Knockout can know to update the binding. The first two obviously aren't occurring and although you do call replace on the array, it's the equivalent of this:
list.replace(game, game); // replace the item with itself
The foreach binding doesn't see the above as a change and doesn't update anything. So, to update the binding, you need to make a real update to an observable.
Further comments
To get the index of an item in an observable array, use the indexOf method:
var position = self.list.indexOf(game);
To replace an item at a specific index, use the splice method with a second parameter of 1:
self.list.splice(position, 1 /*how many to remove*/, newGame);

Observable arrays have a built in .replace method you can use to do this:
var position = ko.utils.arrayIndexOf(self.list(), game);
self.list.replace(self.list()[position], game);
