I've tried modifying some of the similar solutions on here but I keep getting stuck, I believe I have part of this figured out however, the main caveat is that:
Some of the objects have extra keys, which renders my object comparison logic useless.
I am trying to compare two arrays of objects. One array is the original array, and the other array contains the items I want deleted from the original array. However there's one extra issue in that the second array contains extra keys, so my comparison logic doesn't work.
An example would make this easier, let's say I have the following two arrays:
const originalArray = [{id: 1, name: "darnell"}, {id: 2, name: "funboi"},
{id: 3, name: "jackson5"}, {id: 4, name: "zelensky"}];
const itemsToBeRemoved = [{id: 2, name: "funboi", extraProperty: "something"},
{id: 4, name: "zelensky", extraProperty: "somethingelse"}];
after running the logic, my final output should be this array:
[{id: 1, name: "darnell"}, {id: 3, name: "jackson5"}]
And here's the current code / logic that I have, which compares but doesn't handle the extra keys. How should I handle this? Thank you in advance.
const prepareArray = (arr) => {
return arr.map((el) => {
if (typeof el === "object" && el !== null) {
return JSON.stringify(el);
} else {
return el;
}
});
};
const convertJSON = (arr) => {
return arr.map((el) => {
return JSON.parse(el);
});
};
const compareArrays = (arr1, arr2) => {
const currentArray = [...prepareArray(arr1)];
const deletedItems = [...prepareArray(arr2)];
const compared = currentArray.filter((el) => deletedItems.indexOf(el) === -1);
return convertJSON(compared);
};
How about using filter and some? You can extend the filter condition on select properties using &&.
const originalArray = [
{ id: 1, name: 'darnell' },
{ id: 2, name: 'funboi' },
{ id: 3, name: 'jackson5' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky' },
];
const itemsToBeRemoved = [
{ id: 2, name: 'funboi', extraProperty: 'something' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky', extraProperty: 'somethingelse' },
];
console.log(
originalArray.filter(item => !itemsToBeRemoved.some(itemToBeRemoved => itemToBeRemoved.id === item.id))
)
Or you can generalise it as well.
const originalArray = [
{ id: 1, name: 'darnell' },
{ id: 2, name: 'funboi' },
{ id: 3, name: 'jackson5' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky' },
];
const itemsToBeRemoved = [
{ id: 2, name: 'funboi', extraProperty: 'something' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky', extraProperty: 'somethingelse' },
];
function filterIfSubset(originalArray, itemsToBeRemoved) {
const filteredArray = [];
for (let i = 0; i < originalArray.length; i++) {
let isSubset = false;
for (let j = 0; j < itemsToBeRemoved.length; j++) {
// check if whole object is a subset of the object in itemsToBeRemoved
if (Object.keys(originalArray[i]).every(key => originalArray[i][key] === itemsToBeRemoved[j][key])) {
isSubset = true;
}
}
if (!isSubset) {
filteredArray.push(originalArray[i]);
}
}
return filteredArray;
}
console.log(filterIfSubset(originalArray, itemsToBeRemoved));
Another simpler variation of the second approach:
const originalArray = [
{ id: 1, name: 'darnell' },
{ id: 2, name: 'funboi' },
{ id: 3, name: 'jackson5' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky' },
];
const itemsToBeRemoved = [
{ id: 2, name: 'funboi', extraProperty: 'something' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky', extraProperty: 'somethingelse' },
];
const removeSubsetObjectsIfExists = (originalArray, itemsToBeRemoved) => {
return originalArray.filter(item => {
const isSubset = itemsToBeRemoved.some(itemToBeRemoved => {
return Object.keys(item).every(key => {
return item[key] === itemToBeRemoved[key];
});
});
return !isSubset;
});
}
console.log(removeSubsetObjectsIfExists(originalArray, itemsToBeRemoved));
The example below is a reusable function, the third parameter is the key to which you compare values from both arrays.
Details are commented in example
const arr=[{id:1,name:"darnell"},{id:2,name:"funboi"},{id:3,name:"jackson5"},{id:4,name:"zelensky"}],del=[{id:2,name:"funboi",extraProperty:"something"},{id:4,name:"zelensky",extraProperty:"somethingelse"}];
/** Compare arrayA vs. delArray by a given key's value.
--- ex. key = 'id'
**/
function deleteByKey(arrayA, delArray, key) {
/* Get an array of only the values of the given key from delArray
--- ex. delList = [1, 2, 3, 4]
*/
const delList = delArray.map(obj => obj[key]);
/* On every object of arrayA compare delList values vs
current object's key's value
--- ex. current obj[id] = 2
--- [1, 2, 3, 4].includes(obj[id])
Any match returns an empty array and non-matches are returned
in it's own array.
--- ex. ? [] : [obj]
The final return is a flattened array of the non-matching objects
*/
return arrayA.flatMap(obj => delList.includes(obj[key]) ? [] : [obj]);
};
console.log(deleteByKey(arr, del, 'id'));
let ff = [{ id: 1, name: 'darnell' }, { id: 2, name: 'funboi' },
{ id: 3, name: 'jackson5' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky' }]
let cc = [{ id: 2, name: 'funboi', extraProperty: 'something' },
{ id: 4, name: 'zelensky', extraProperty: 'somethingelse' }]
let ar = []
let out = []
const result = ff.filter(function(i){
ar.push(i.id)
cc.forEach(function(k){
out.push(k.id)
})
if(!out.includes(i.id)){
// console.log(i.id, i)
return i
}
})
console.log(result)
The question might be a bit vague, but I'll explain the result I'm expecting to get with an example.
Say I have the following array made out of objects with the following shape:
[
{
id: 1,
value: 10
},
{
id: 2,
value: 100
},
{
id: 3,
value: 10
},
{
id: 4,
value: 10
},
{
id: 5,
value: 1000
},
]
This array might contain hundrends, maybe thousands of entries, but for simplicity, I'll keep it small.
What I'm trying to achieve is compare the value property of every object with the other value properties and assign a new property duplicate with a boolean value to that specific object.
Given the example above, I would expect to receive an array with the following members:
[
{
id: 1,
value: 10,
duplicate: true
},
{
id: 2,
value: 100
},
{
id: 3,
value: 10,
duplicate: true
},
{
id: 4,
value: 10,
duplicate: true
},
{
id: 5,
value: 1000
},
]
Whats the most optimal way I could implement this behavior ?
Thank you.
I'd do a single pass through the array remembering the first seen entry with a given value in a Map, marking that first entry (and any others) as duplicates if it's present, like this:
const map = new Map();
for (const entry of array) {
const previous = map.get(entry.value);
if (previous) {
previous.duplicate = entry.duplicate = true;
} else {
map.set(entry.value, entry);
}
}
Live Example:
const array = [
{
id: 1,
value: 10
},
{
id: 2,
value: 100
},
{
id: 3,
value: 10
},
{
id: 4,
value: 10
},
{
id: 5,
value: 1000
},
];
const map = new Map();
for (const entry of array) {
const previous = map.get(entry.value);
if (previous) {
previous.duplicate = entry.duplicate = true;
} else {
map.set(entry.value, entry);
}
}
console.log(array);
You can do this by first determining which are the duplicates, and then setting the 'duplicate' attribute.
counts = items.reduce((counter, item) => {
if (counter[item.value] != null) {
counter[item.value] += 1;
} else {
counter[item.value] = 1;
}
return counter;
}, {});
After this, you can go over your items, and if the count is >=2, set the 'duplicate' attribute.
items.forEach((item) => {
if (counter[item.value] > 1) {
item['duplicate'] = true;
}
});
You can use Array.map and Array.filter for that.
const input = [
{ id: 1, value: 10 },
{ id: 2, value: 100 },
{ id: 3, value: 10 },
{ id: 4, value: 10 },
{ id: 5, value: 1000 }
]
const output = input.map(entry => {
if (input.filter(x => x.value === entry.value).length > 1) {
return {
duplicate: true,
...entry
}
}
return entry
})
console.log(output)
I would create a map with value as the key, and a list of ids as the values, than after iterating over the whole map and creating the new mapping, unpack it back tothe desired form, and add duplicated for keys with more than one value.
I think this will help you. arr is your array.
arr.forEach(e=> {
const dublicatedDataLenth = arr.filter(a => a.value == e.value).length;
if(dublicatedDataLenth > 1){
e.dublicate = true;
}
})
It should be what you are looking for.
A copy from myself with a single loop and an object for storing seen values.
This approach returns a new array and does not mutate the given data.
var data = [{ id: 1, value: 10 }, { id: 2, value: 100 }, { id: 3, value: 10 }, { id: 4, value: 10 }, { id: 5, value: 1000 }],
result = data.map((seen => ({ ...o }) => {
if (o.value in seen) {
o.duplicate = true;
if (seen[o.value]) {
seen[o.value].duplicate = true;
seen[o.value] = false;
}
} else seen[o.value] = o;
return o;
})({}));
console.log(result);

I have an array of arrays below. With ES6, how can I get a count of each value Good, Excellent & Wow into a new array e.g [{name: Good, count: 4} {name: Excellent, count: 5}, {name:Wow, count:2}] in dynamic style. I am attempting to use Object.assign but I am failing to "unique" out the count of the key plus instead, I need to use an array as I am trying to render this out on the front end. Do I need to use reduce? how?
let k = 0
const stats = {}
const remarks = [
[{name: "Good"}],
[{name: "Good"}, {name: "Excellent"}],
[{name: "Good"}, {name: "Excellent"}, {name: "Wow"}],
[{name: "Good"}, {name: "Excellent"}, {name: "Wow"}],
[{name: "Excellent"}],
[{name: "Excellent"}]
]
remarks.forEach((arr) => {
arr.map((e) => {
Object.assign(stats, { [e.name]: k = k + 1 })
})
})
console.log(stats);
Output:
stats: {Good: 8, Excellent: 11, Wow: 9}
Which is Incorrect plus I need to use an array.
Expected output:
[{name: Good, count: 4} {name: Excellent, count: 5}, {name:Wow, count:2}]
Flatten the array of arrays and reduce it starting with an object like : { Good: 0, Excellent: 0, Wow: 0}
then .map the Object.entries of the result to transform it to an array :
const remarks = [
[{ name: "Good" }],
[{ name: "Good" }, { name: "Excellent" }],
[{ name: "Good" }, { name: "Excellent" }, { name: "Wow" }],
[{ name: "Good" }, { name: "Excellent" }, { name: "Wow" }],
[{ name: "Excellent" }],
[{ name: "Excellent" }]
];
const result = Object.entries(
remarks.flat().reduce(
(all, { name }) => {
all[name] += 1;
return all;
},
{ Good: 0, Excellent: 0, Wow: 0 }
)
).map(([name, count]) => ({ name, count }));
console.log(result);
You can try below logic:
var data = [[{name: "Good"}],[{name: "Good"}, {name:"Excellent"}],[{name: "Good"}, {name:"Excellent"}, {name:"Wow"}],[{name: "Good"}, {name:"Excellent"}, {name:"Wow"}],[{name:"Excellent"}],[{name:"Excellent"}]]
var nData = [];
(data || []).forEach( e => {
(e || []).forEach(ei => {
var i = (index = nData.findIndex(d => d.name === ei.name)) >=0 ? index : nData.length;
nData[i] = {
name: ei.name,
count : (nData[i] && nData[i].count ? nData[i].count : 0)+1
}
});
});
console.log(nData);
Hope this helps!
You can use reduce, then convert the result into an array of objects:
const counts = remarks.reduce((result, list) => {
list.forEach(remark => {
result[remark.name] = (result[remark.name] || 0) + 1;
});
}, {});
const finalResult = [];
for (let name in counts) {
finalResult.push({name, count: counts[name]});
}
You could achieve this pretty easily by:
1) Flattening the nested array into 1 single level array.
2) Iterating over the flat array and create a "count map" by using Array.prototype.reduce
For example:
const remarks = [
[{
name: 'Good'
}],
[{
name: 'Good'
}, {
name: 'Excellent'
}],
[{
name: 'Good'
}, {
name: 'Excellent'
}, {
name: 'Wow'
}],
[{
name: 'Good'
}, {
name: 'Excellent'
}, {
name: 'Wow'
}],
[{
name: 'Excellent'
}],
[{
name: 'Excellent'
}]
]
const flatten = arr => arr.reduce((accum, el) => accum.concat(el), [])
const map = flatten(remarks).reduce((accum, el) => {
if (accum[el.name]) {
accum[el.name] += 1;
} else {
accum[el.name] = 1;
}
return accum;
}, {});
console.log(map)
First find the counts using reduce than pass that to another function to get the desired view structure:
const Good = 1,
Excellent = 2,
Wow = 3;
const remarks = [
[{name: Good}],
[{name: Good}, {name:Excellent}],
[{name: Good}, {name:Excellent}, {name:Wow}],
[{name: Good}, {name:Excellent}, {name:Wow}],
[{name:Excellent}],
[{name:Excellent}]
];
/*
[{name: Good, count: 4} {name: Excellent, count: 5}, {name:Wow, count:2}]
*/
function counts(remarks) {
return remarks.flat().reduce((acc, v) => {
const name = v.name;
let count = acc[name] || 0;
return {
...acc,
[name]: count + 1
}
}, {});
}
function view(counts) {
return Object.keys(counts).map(key => {
let count = counts[key];
return { name: key, count };
})
}
console.log(view(counts(remarks)));
Any time you are making a smaller set of data, or transforming data, in JavaScript reduce should be the first method you attempt to use. In this case, you may want to pair it with an indexer (hence preloading with an array of index and an array of result).
This works in one pass without needing to know the name values up front.
const remarks = [
[{name: "Good"}],
[{name: "Good"}, {name: "Excellent"}],
[{name: "Good"}, {name: "Excellent"}, {name: "Wow"}],
[{name: "Good"}, {name: "Excellent"}, {name: "Wow"}],
[{name: "Excellent"}],
[{name: "Excellent"}]
];
const stats = remarks.reduce((p,c) => (
c.forEach( ({name}) => {
if(!p[0].hasOwnProperty(name)){
p[1].push({name:name,count:0});
p[0][name] = p[1].length - 1;
}
p[1][p[0][name]].count++;
}),p),[{},[]])[1];
console.log(stats);
A slightly more concise and definitely less readable approach (but it's worth to mention) could be:
const remarks = [
[{ name: "Good" }],
[{ name: "Good" }, { name: "Excellent" }],
[{ name: "Good" }, { name: "Excellent" }, { name: "Wow" }],
[{ name: "Good" }, { name: "Excellent" }, { name: "Wow" }],
[{ name: "Excellent" }],
[{ name: "Excellent" }]
];
const stats = Object.entries(
remarks
.flat()
.reduce((acc, {name}) => (acc[name] = -~acc[name], acc), {})))
).map(([name, count]) => ({ name, count }));
console.log(stats);
It uses the comma operator in the reducer to returns the accumulator; and the bitwise operator NOT to create a counter without the needs to initialize the object upfront with all the names.
const flattenedRemarks = _.flatten(remarks);
const groupedRemarks = _.groupBy(flattenedRemarks, (remark) => remark.name);
const remarkCounts = _.mapValues(groupedRemarks, (group) => group.length);
const data = {
"mchale": {
"classes":["ESJ030", "SCI339"], // get the length
"faculty":["Hardy", "Vikrum"] // get the length
},
"lawerence":{
"classes":["ENG001"], // get the length
"faculty":["Speedman", "Lee", "Lazenhower"] // get the length
}
};
const count = Object.keys(data).map(campusName => {
const campus = data[campusName];
return Object.keys(campus).map(key => campus[key].length).reduce((p, c) => p + c, 0);
}).reduce((p, c) => p + c, 0);
console.log(count);
I have two arrays:
Array 1:
[
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
]
and array 2:
[
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
]
I need to merge these two arrays based on id and get this:
[
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22", name: "abc" }
]
How can I do this without iterating trough Object.keys?
You can do it like this -
let arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
let arr2 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
let arr3 = arr1.map((item, i) => Object.assign({}, item, arr2[i]));
console.log(arr3);
Use below code if arr1 and arr2 are in a different order:
let arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
let arr2 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
let merged = [];
for(let i=0; i<arr1.length; i++) {
merged.push({
...arr1[i],
...(arr2.find((itmInner) => itmInner.id === arr1[i].id))}
);
}
console.log(merged);
Use this if arr1 and arr2 are in a same order
let arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
let arr2 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
let merged = [];
for(let i=0; i<arr1.length; i++) {
merged.push({
...arr1[i],
...arr2[i]
});
}
console.log(merged);
You can do this in one line
let arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
let arr2 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
const mergeById = (a1, a2) =>
a1.map(itm => ({
...a2.find((item) => (item.id === itm.id) && item),
...itm
}));
console.log(mergeById(arr1, arr2));
Map over array1
Search through array2 for array1.id
If you find it ...spread the result of array2 into array1
The final array will only contain id's that match from both arrays
This solution is applicable even when the merged arrays have different sizes.
Also, even if the matching keys have different names.
Merge the two arrays by using a Map as follows:
const arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" },
{ id: "abdc4053", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
const arr2 = [
{ nameId: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ nameId: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
const map = new Map();
arr1.forEach(item => map.set(item.id, item));
arr2.forEach(item => map.set(item.nameId, {...map.get(item.nameId), ...item}));
const mergedArr = Array.from(map.values());
console.log(JSON.stringify(mergedArr));
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
Run the stack snippet to see the result:
[
{
"id": "abdc4051",
"date": "2017-01-24",
"nameId": "abdc4051",
"name": "ab"
},
{
"id": "abdc4052",
"date": "2017-01-22",
"nameId": "abdc4052",
"name": "abc"
},
{
"id": "abdc4053",
"date": "2017-01-22"
}
]
Here's an O(n) solution using reduce and Object.assign
const joinById = ( ...lists ) =>
Object.values(
lists.reduce(
( idx, list ) => {
list.forEach( ( record ) => {
if( idx[ record.id ] )
idx[ record.id ] = Object.assign( idx[ record.id ], record)
else
idx[ record.id ] = record
} )
return idx
},
{}
)
)
To use this function for the OP's case, pass in the arrays you want to join to joinById (notice lists is a rest parameter).
let joined = joinById(list1, list2)
Each list gets reduced to a single object where the keys are ids and the values are the objects. If there's a value at the given key already, it gets object.assign called on it and the current record.
Here's the generic O(n*m) solution, where n is the number of records and m is the number of keys. This will only work for valid object keys. You can convert any value to base64 and use that if you need to.
const join = ( keys, ...lists ) =>
lists.reduce(
( res, list ) => {
list.forEach( ( record ) => {
let hasNode = keys.reduce(
( idx, key ) => idx && idx[ record[ key ] ],
res[ 0 ].tree
)
if( hasNode ) {
const i = hasNode.i
Object.assign( res[ i ].value, record )
res[ i ].found++
} else {
let node = keys.reduce( ( idx, key ) => {
if( idx[ record[ key ] ] )
return idx[ record[ key ] ]
else
idx[ record[ key ] ] = {}
return idx[ record[ key ] ]
}, res[ 0 ].tree )
node.i = res[ 0 ].i++
res[ node.i ] = {
found: 1,
value: record
}
}
} )
return res
},
[ { i: 1, tree: {} } ]
)
.slice( 1 )
.filter( node => node.found === lists.length )
.map( n => n.value )
This is essentially the same as the joinById method, except that it keeps an index object to identify records to join. The records are stored in an array and the index stores the position of the record for the given key set and the number of lists it's been found in.
Each time the same key set is encountered, it finds the node in the tree, updates the element at it's index, and the number of times it's been found is incremented.
After joining, the idx object is removed from the array with the slice and any elements that weren't found in each set are removed. This makes it an inner join, you could remove this filter and have a full outer join.
Finally each element is mapped to it's value, and you have the joined arrays.
You could use an arbitrary count of arrays and map on the same index new objects.
var array1 = [{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" }, { id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }],
array2 = [{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" }, { id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }],
result = [array1, array2].reduce((a, b) => a.map((c, i) => Object.assign({}, c, b[i])));
console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
If you have 2 arrays need to be merged based on values even its in different order
let arr1 = [
{ id:"1", value:"this", other: "that" },
{ id:"2", value:"this", other: "that" }
];
let arr2 = [
{ id:"2", key:"val2"},
{ id:"1", key:"val1"}
];
you can do like this
const result = arr1.map(item => {
const obj = arr2.find(o => o.id === item.id);
return { ...item, ...obj };
});
console.log(result);
To merge the two arrays on id, assuming the arrays are equal length:
arr1.map(item => ({
...item,
...arr2.find(({ id }) => id === item.id),
}));
We can use lodash here. _.merge works as you expected. It works with the common key present.
_.merge(array1, array2)
Non of these solutions worked for my case:
missing objects can exist in either array
runtime complexity of O(n)
notes:
I used lodash but it's easy to replace with something else
Also used Typescript (just remove/ignore the types)
import { keyBy, values } from 'lodash';
interface IStringTMap<T> {
[key: string]: T;
}
type IIdentified = {
id?: string | number;
};
export function mergeArrayById<T extends IIdentified>(
array1: T[],
array2: T[]
): T[] {
const mergedObjectMap: IStringTMap<T> = keyBy(array1, 'id');
const finalArray: T[] = [];
for (const object of array2) {
if (object.id && mergedObjectMap[object.id]) {
mergedObjectMap[object.id] = {
...mergedObjectMap[object.id],
...object,
};
} else {
finalArray.push(object);
}
}
values(mergedObjectMap).forEach(object => {
finalArray.push(object);
});
return finalArray;
}
You can use array methods
let arrayA=[
{id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24"},
{id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22"}]
let arrayB=[
{id: "abdc4051", name: "ab"},
{id: "abdc4052", name: "abc"}]
let arrayC = [];
arrayA.forEach(function(element){
arrayC.push({
id:element.id,
date:element.date,
name:(arrayB.find(e=>e.id===element.id)).name
});
});
console.log(arrayC);
//0:{id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24", name: "ab"}
//1:{id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22", name: "abc"}
Here is one-liner (order of elements in array is not important and assuming there is 1 to 1 relationship):
var newArray = array1.map(x=>Object.assign(x, array2.find(y=>y.id==x.id)))
I iterated through the first array and used the .find method on the second array to find a match where the id are equal and returned the result.
const a = [{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }];
const b = [{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }];
console.log(a.map(itm => ({...itm, ...b.find(elm => elm.id == itm.id)})));
You can recursively merge them into one as follows:
function mergeRecursive(obj1, obj2) {
for (var p in obj2) {
try {
// Property in destination object set; update its value.
if (obj2[p].constructor == Object) {
obj1[p] = this.mergeRecursive(obj1[p], obj2[p]);
} else {
obj1[p] = obj2[p];
}
} catch (e) {
obj1[p] = obj2[p];
}
}
return obj1;
}
arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
arr2 = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
mergeRecursive(arr1, arr2)
console.log(JSON.stringify(arr1))
Irrespective of the order you can merge it by,
function merge(array,key){
let map = {};
array.forEach(val=>{
if(map[val[key]]){
map[val[key]] = {...map[val[key]],...val};
}else{
map[val[key]] = val;
}
})
return Object.keys(map).map(val=>map[val]);
}
let b = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
];
let a = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
];
console.log(merge( [...a,...b], 'id'));
An approach if both two arrays have non-intersect items.
const firstArray = [
{ id: 1, name: "Alex", salutation: "Mr." },
{ id: 2, name: "Maria", salutation: "Ms." },
];
const secondArray = [
{ id: 2, address: "Larch Retreat 31", postcode: "123452" },
{ id: 3, address: "Lycroft Close 12D", postcode: "123009" },
];
const mergeArr = (arr1, arr2) => {
const obj = {};
arr1.forEach(item => {
obj[item.id] = item;
});
arr2.forEach(item => {
obj[item.id]
? (obj[item.id] = { ...obj[item.id], ...item })
: (obj[item.id] = item);
});
return Object.values(obj);
};
const output = mergeArr(firstArray, secondArray);
console.log(output);

Well... assuming both arrays are of the same length, I would probably do something like this:
var newArr = []
for (var i = 0; i < array1.length; i++ {
if (array1[i].id === array2[i].id) {
newArr.push({id: array1[i].id, date: array1[i].date, name: array2[i].name});
}
}
I was able to achieve this with a nested mapping of the two arrays and updating the initial array:
member.map(mem => {
return memberInfo.map(info => {
if (info.id === mem.userId) {
mem.date = info.date;
return mem;
}
}
}
There are a lot of solutions available for this, But, We can simply use for loop and if conditions to get merged arrays.
const firstArray = [
{ id: 1, name: "Alex", salutation: "Mr." },
{ id: 2, name: "Maria", salutation: "Ms." },
];
const secondArray = [
{ id: 1, address: "Larch Retreat 31", postcode: "123452" },
{ id: 2, address: "Lycroft Close 12D", postcode: "123009" },
];
let mergedArray: any = [];
for (const arr1 of firstArray) {
for (arr2 doc of secondArray) {
if (arr1.id === arr2.id) {
mergedArray.push({ ...arr1, ...arr2 });
}
}
}
console.log(mergedArray)
Here is converting the best answer (jsbisht) into a function that accepts the keys as arguments.
const mergeArraysByKeyMatch = (array1, array2, key1, key2) => {
const map = new Map();
array1.forEach((item) => map.set(item[key1], item));
array2.forEach((item) =>
map.set(item[key2], { ...map.get(item[key2]), ...item })
);
const merged = Array.from(map.values());
return merged;
};
A Typescript O(n+m) (which could be classified as O(n)) solution; without lodash:
// RequireAtLeastOne from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40510611/typescript-interface-require-one-of-two-properties-to-exist/49725198#49725198
type RequireAtLeastOne<T, Keys extends keyof T = keyof T> = Pick<
T,
Exclude<keyof T, Keys>
> &
{
[K in Keys]-?: Required<Pick<T, K>> & Partial<Pick<T, Exclude<Keys, K>>>;
}[Keys];
export const mergeDualArraysOnKey = <
K extends PropertyKey,
T extends RequireAtLeastOne<{ [f in PropertyKey]?: unknown }, K>
>(
key: K,
...lists: [T[], T[]]
): T[] => {
const lookup: { [key in string]: number } = {};
return lists[0].concat(lists[1]).reduce((acc: T[], value: T, i: number) => {
const lookupKey = `${value[key]}`;
if (lookup.hasOwnProperty(lookupKey)) {
acc[lookup[lookupKey]] = Object.assign({}, acc[lookup[lookupKey]], value);
} else {
acc.push(value);
lookup[lookupKey] = acc.length - 1;
}
return acc;
}, []);
};
First concatenates the two arrays and then iterates through the newly created array. It uses a lookup table (object) to store the index of an item in the final merged array which has the same key and merges the objects inplace.
If this needed to be extended to handle more arrays, could use a loop or recursion as a wrapping function:
const mergeArrays = <
K extends PropertyKey,
T extends RequireAtLeastOne<{ [f in PropertyKey]?: unknown }, K>
>(
key: K,
...lists: T[][]
): T[] => {
if (lists.length === 1) {
return lists[0];
}
const l1 = lists.pop() || [];
const l2 = lists.pop() || [];
return mergeArrays(key, mergeDualArraysOnKey(key, l1, l2), ...lists);
};
with usage being:
const arr1 = [
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" },
{ id: "abdc4052", location: "US" },
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4053", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4054", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4055", location: "US" },
];
const arr2 = [
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" },
{ id: "abdc4055", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4055", date: "2017-01-24", name: "abcd" },
];
const arr3 = [{ id: "abdc4056", location: "US" }];
const arr4 = [
{ id: "abdc4056", name: "abcde" },
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab--ab" },
];
mergeArrays<
"id",
{
id: string;
date?: string;
location?: string;
name?: string;
}
>("id", arr1, arr2, arr3, arr4)
Base on your example, you can do it this way:
const arrayOne = [
{ id: "abdc4051", date: "2017-01-24" },
{ id: "abdc4052", date: "2017-01-22" }
]
const arrayTwo = [
{ id: "abdc4051", name: "ab" },
{ id: "abdc4052", name: "abc" }
]
const mergeArrays = () => {
arrayOne.forEach((item, i) => {
const matchedFound = arrayTwo.findIndex(a => a.id === item.id);
arrayOne[i] = {
...item,
...matchedFound,
}
});
};
mergeArrays();
console.log(arrayOne);
This is a version when you have an object and an array and you want to merge them and give the array a key value so it fits into the object nicely.
var fileData = [
{ "id" : "1", "filename" : "myfile1", "score" : 33.1 },
{ "id" : "2", "filename" : "myfile2", "score" : 31.4 },
{ "id" : "3", "filename" : "myfile3", "score" : 36.3 },
{ "id" : "4", "filename" : "myfile4", "score" : 23.9 }
];
var fileQuality = [0.23456543,0.13413131,0.1941344,0.7854522];
var newOjbect = fileData.map((item, i) => Object.assign({}, item, {fileQuality:fileQuality[i]}));
console.log(newOjbect);
