Transform an Array into an Object using .reduce()

November 16, 2021

I am trying to study Array.reduce. And I was given the following task:

Input data:

const report = [
  {
    dateOfReport: "11-01-2021",
    userId: "id1",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 10, second_metric: 15 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "11-01-2021",
    userId: "id2",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 9, second_metric: 14 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "12-01-2021",
    userId: "id1",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 11, second_metric: 14 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "12-01-2021",
    userId: "id2",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 16, second_metric: 19 },
  },
];

And I need to get this data in the output

const output = [
  {
    dateOfReport: "11-01-2021",
    id1: { first_metric: 10, second_metric: 15 },
    id2: { first_metric: 9, second_metric: 14 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "12-01-2021",
    id1: { first_metric: 11, second_metric: 14 },
    id2: { first_metric: 16, second_metric: 19 },
  },
];

I tried to write some code, but I have no idea how to do it correctly. How can I solve this problem?

Code:

 const result = report.reduce((acc, dataItem) => {
    let outputArray = [];

    if (dataItem) {
      outputArray.push({ ...dataItem, date: dataItem.dateOfReport, [dataItem.userId]: dataItem.userMetric });
    }

    return outputArray;
  });

  return result;

>Solution :

Corrected the logic

const report = [
  {
    dateOfReport: "11-01-2021",
    userId: "id1",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 10, second_metric: 15 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "11-01-2021",
    userId: "id2",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 9, second_metric: 14 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "12-01-2021",
    userId: "id1",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 11, second_metric: 14 },
  },
  {
    dateOfReport: "12-01-2021",
    userId: "id2",
    userMetric: { first_metric: 16, second_metric: 19 },
  },
];
const result = report.reduce((acc, dataItem) => {
  const node = acc.find(item => item.dateOfReport === dataItem.dateOfReport);
  if (node) {
    node[dataItem.userId] = dataItem.userMetric;
  } else {
    acc.push({ dateOfReport: dataItem.dateOfReport, [dataItem.userId]: dataItem.userMetric });
  }
  return acc;
}, []);

console.log(result);
