indexBy

indexBy() function​

Given f that generates a key, turns a list of objects into an object indexing the objects by the given key. Note that if multiple objects generate the same value for the indexing key only the last value will be included in the generated object.

Signature:

declare function indexBy<A extends Key>(f: (a: A) => A, iterable: Iterable<A>): {
    [K in A]: K;
};

Example​

const given = [
  { category: "clothes", desc: "good" },
  { category: "pants", desc: "bad" },
  { category: "shoes", desc: "not bad" },
];

indexBy(a => a.category, given);
// {
//   clothes: { category: "clothes", desc: "good" },
//   pants: { category: "pants", desc: "bad" },
//   shoes: { category: "shoes", desc: "not bad" },
// };
