Reduces a given Array-like into a value hash (keyed data store).
|
|
|
|
- Given an Iterable or Array-like structure, call `Array.prototype.reduce.call()` on the provided object to step over it and return an Object, keyed by the reference value.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const toHash = (object, key) =>
|
|
Array.prototype.reduce.call(
|
|
object,
|
|
(acc, data, index) => ((acc[!key ? index : data[key]] = data), acc),
|
|
{}
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
toHash([4, 3, 2, 1]); // { 0: 4, 1: 3, 2: 2, 3: 1 }
|
|
toHash([{ a: 'label' }], 'a'); // { label: { a: 'label' } }
|
|
// A more in depth example:
|
|
let users = [{ id: 1, first: 'Jon' }, { id: 2, first: 'Joe' }, { id: 3, first: 'Moe' }];
|
|
let managers = [{ manager: 1, employees: [2, 3] }];
|
|
// We use function here because we want a bindable reference, but a closure referencing the hash would work, too.
|
|
managers.forEach(
|
|
manager =>
|
|
(manager.employees = manager.employees.map(function(id) {
|
|
return this[id];
|
|
}, toHash(users, 'id')))
|
|
);
|
|
managers; // [ { manager:1, employees: [ { id: 2, first: 'Joe' }, { id: 3, first: 'Moe' } ] } ]
|
|
```
