Returns the maximum value of an array, after mapping each element to a value using the provided function.
|
|
|
|
- Use `Array.prototype.map()` to map each element to the value returned by `fn`, `Math.max()` to get the maximum value.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const maxBy = (arr, fn) => Math.max(...arr.map(typeof fn === 'function' ? fn : val => val[fn]));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
maxBy([{ n: 4 }, { n: 2 }, { n: 8 }, { n: 6 }], o => o.n); // 8
|
|
maxBy([{ n: 4 }, { n: 2 }, { n: 8 }, { n: 6 }], 'n'); // 8
|
|
```
