JavaScript

5 mins

Write a function groupBy that takes an array of objects and a property name (as a string), and returns an object where the keys are the unique values of the specified property, and the values are arrays of objects that have that property value.

Example Inputs & Outputs

// Example 1: const users = [ { name: 'Alice', age: 25 }, { name: 'Bob', age: 30 }, { name: 'Charlie', age: 25 } ]; groupBy(users, 'age'); // Output: { // '25': [{ name: 'Alice', age: 25 }, { name: 'Charlie', age: 25 }], // '30': [{ name: 'Bob', age: 30 }] // } // Example 2: const products = [ { id: 1, category: 'Electronics' }, { id: 2, category: 'Clothing' }, { id: 3, category: 'Electronics' } ]; groupBy(products, 'category'); // Output: { // 'Electronics': [{ id: 1, category: 'Electronics' }, { id: 3, category: 'Electronics' }], // 'Clothing': [{ id: 2, category: 'Clothing' }] // }

Constraints & Edge Cases

  • The input array may be empty, in this case return an empty object.
  • The key values can be of any type (number, string, etc.), but they will be coerced to strings when used as object keys.
