javascript - Convert object array to hash map, indexed by an attribute value of the Object
Use Case
The use case is to convert an array of objects into a hash map based on string or function provided to evaluate and use as the key in the hash map and value as an object itself. A common case of using this is converting an array of objects into a hash map of objects.
Code
The following is a small snippet in JavaScript to convert an array of objects to a hash map, indexed by the attribute value of object. You can provide a function to evaluate the key of hash map dynamically (run time).
function isFunction(func) {
return Object.prototype.toString.call(func) === '[object Function]';
}
/**
* This function converts an array to hash map
* @param {String | function} key describes the key to be evaluated in each object to use as key for hashmap
* @returns Object
* @Example
* [{id:123, name:'naveen'}, {id:345, name:"kumar"}].toHashMap("id")
* Returns :- Object {123: Object, 345: Object}
*
* [{id:123, name:'naveen'}, {id:345, name:"kumar"}].toHashMap(function(obj){return obj.id+1})
* Returns :- Object {124: Object, 346: Object}
*/
Array.prototype.toHashMap = function(key) {
var _hashMap = {}, getKey = isFunction(key)?key: function(_obj){return _obj[key];};
this.forEach(function (obj){
_hashMap[getKey(obj)] = obj;
});
return _hashMap;
};
