javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to group an array of objects by multiple properties in JavaScript?


Lodash provides a convenient way to group an array of objects by multiple properties in JavaScript. To do this, you can use the .groupBy() method. The .groupBy() method takes two arguments: an array of objects and a function that returns the value to group by.

For example, the following code will group an array of objects by their name and age properties:

const people = [
  {name: 'John', age: 25},
  {name: 'Tom', age: 30},
  {name: 'John', age: 20},
  {name: 'Tom', age: 25},
];

const groupedPeople = _.groupBy(people, p => [p.name, p.age]);

console.log(groupedPeople);
/*
## Output example

{
  'John,25': [{name: 'John', age: 25}],
  'Tom,30': [{name: 'Tom', age: 30}],
  'John,20': [{name: 'John', age: 20}],
  'Tom,25': [{name: 'Tom', age: 25}],
}
*/

The code above uses the _.groupBy() method to group an array of objects by their name and age properties. The _.groupBy() method takes a function as its second argument, which returns the value to group by. In this example, the function returns an array containing both the name and age properties of each object. The _.groupBy() method returns an object with keys corresponding to the values returned by the function, and values corresponding to the objects with those values.

For more information on the _.groupBy() method, see the Lodash documentation.
