I'm building a grid component that will allow the user to do multiple row grouping.



The original data I'm working on is as such example for stock items:



let stock = [
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 200, item: "IT282" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 90, item: "IT283" },
{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 80, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 110, item: "IT283" },
{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 130, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 45, item: "IT233" },
{ order: "200", type: "stock", qty: 30, item: "IT282" },
{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 300, item: "IT282" },
{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 190, item: "IT283" },
{ order: "210", type: "customer", qty: 180, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 210, item: "IT283" },
{ order: "210", type: "customer", qty: 230, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 145, item: "IT233" },
{ order: "210", type: "stock", qty: 130, item: "IT282" }
];


What I need to accomplish is to be able to group that data using multiple fields in different orders, like the following results:



let result = groupBy(stock, ["order"]);

[
{
field: "order",
value: "200",
rows: [

{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 130, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 45, item: "IT233" },

My group function would receive any array of items and group any number of array fields in any order.



As I want an ES6 based function, I'm today using the following groupBy function from that link that works for a single pass, but I'm having difficulties nesting then together.



Here is the code I'm working on:



  groupBy = (rows, groups) => {
if (groups.length === 0) return rows;

return this.groupByField(rows, groups, 0);
};

groupByField = (rows, groups, index) => {
if (index >= groups.length) return rows;

let grouped = this.groupRows(rows, groups[index]);

index++;
let ret = ;

grouped.rows.map(row => {
ret.push(this.groupByField(row.rows, groups, index));
});

grouped.rows = ret;
return grouped;
};

groupRows = (rows, field) => {
return rows.reduce(function(groups, x) {
let val = helper.getValueByFieldNameString(x.data, field);

let found = groups.find(item => {
return item.groupedValue === val;
});

if (!found) {
let rows = ;
rows.push(x);

groups.push({
groupedField: field,
groupedValue: val,
rows: rows
});
} else {
found.rows.push(x);
}

return groups;
}, );
};


Seems that the recursivity is not working properly.

My group function would receive any array of items and group any number of array fields in any order.



As I want an ES6 based function, I'm today using the following groupBy function from that link that works for a single pass, but I'm having difficulties nesting then together.



Here is the code I'm working on:



  groupBy = (rows, groups) => {
if (groups.length === 0) return rows;

return this.groupByField(rows, groups, 0);
};

groupByField = (rows, groups, index) => {
if (index >= groups.length) return rows;

let grouped = this.groupRows(rows, groups[index]);

index++;
let ret = ;

grouped.rows.map(row => {
ret.push(this.groupByField(row.rows, groups, index));
});

grouped.rows = ret;
return grouped;
};

groupRows = (rows, field) => {
return rows.reduce(function(groups, x) {
let val = helper.getValueByFieldNameString(x.data, field);

let found = groups.find(item => {
return item.groupedValue === val;
});

if (!found) {
let rows = ;
rows.push(x);

groups.push({
groupedField: field,
groupedValue: val,
rows: rows
});
} else {
found.rows.push(x);
}

return groups;
}, );
};


Seems that the recursivity is not working properly.

I'm building a grid component that will allow the user to do multiple row grouping.



The original data I'm working on is as such example for stock items:



let stock = [
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 200, item: "IT282" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 90, item: "IT283" },
{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 80, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 110, item: "IT283" },
{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 130, item: "IT102" },
{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 45, item: "IT233" },
{ order: "200", type: "stock", qty: 30, item: "IT282" },
{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 300, item: "IT282" },
{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 190, item: "IT283" },

I think you can just make a function that groups an array using reduce and Object.values. Then after you group the array, if you have more fields to group by, call the function on each child row array. For example:






let stock = [{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 200, item: "IT282" },{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 90, item: "IT283" },{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 80, item: "IT102" },{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 110, item: "IT283" },{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 130, item: "IT102" },{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 45, item: "IT233" },{ order: "200", type: "stock", qty: 30, item: "IT282" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 300, item: "IT282" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 190, item: "IT283" },{ order: "210", type: "customer", qty: 180, item: "IT102" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 210, item: "IT283" },{ order: "210", type: "customer", qty: 230, item: "IT102" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 145, item: "IT233" },{ order: "210", type: "stock", qty: 130, item: "IT282" }];

function groupBy(arr, fields) {
let field = fields[0] // one field at a time
if (!field) return arr
let retArr = Object.values(
arr.reduce((obj, current) => {
if (!obj[current[field]]) obj[current[field]] = {field: field, value: current[field],rows: }

  • Thanks Mark for the post. I'm trying your posted code and for now it is working fine. I'm not stuck on buiding my table from the results.. How can I know, when rendering the rows, which colums to do rowSpan and for how many rows?

  • Hi @Mendes, there was actually a bug in that code, which I think I fixed. I also edited it to add a count to each item which will be the total of all descendants to a node, which is just the row length before recursing. I think that's the count you're after.

I think you can just make a function that groups an array using reduce and Object.values. Then after you group the array, if you have more fields to group by, call the function on each child row array. For example:






let stock = [{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 200, item: "IT282" },{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 90, item: "IT283" },{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 80, item: "IT102" },{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 110, item: "IT283" },{ order: "200", type: "customer", qty: 130, item: "IT102" },{ order: "200", type: "production", qty: 45, item: "IT233" },{ order: "200", type: "stock", qty: 30, item: "IT282" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 300, item: "IT282" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 190, item: "IT283" },{ order: "210", type: "customer", qty: 180, item: "IT102" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 210, item: "IT283" },{ order: "210", type: "customer", qty: 230, item: "IT102" },{ order: "210", type: "production", qty: 145, item: "IT233" },{ order: "210", type: "stock", qty: 130, item: "IT282" }];

function groupBy(arr, fields) {
let field = fields[0] // one field at a time
if (!field) return arr
let retArr = Object.values(
arr.reduce((obj, current) => {
if (!obj[current[field]]) obj[current[field]] = {field: field, value: current[field],rows: }
obj[current[field]].rows.push(current)
return obj
}, {}))

// recurse for each child's rows if there are remaining fields
if (fields.length){
retArr.forEach(obj => {
obj.count = obj.rows.length
obj.rows = groupBy(obj.rows, fields.slice(1))
})
}
return retArr
}

let result = groupBy(stock, ["order", "item"]);
console.log(result)
