Linq.Js Group By with Count

Question

I have the following array:

var data=  [{ "Id": 1, "Name": "NameOne"}
            { "Id": 2, "Name": "NameTwo"}
            { "Id": 2, "Name": "NameTwo"}]
            { "Id": 3, "Name": "NameThree"}]

Using linq.js I would like to return the following array:

var data=  [{ "Id": 1, "Name": "NameOne", Total: 1}
            { "Id": 2, "Name": "NameTwo", Total: 2}
            { "Id": 3, "Name": "NameThree", Total: 1}]

This means that I need to use GroupBy() with a Count(). I am not sure how to apply this using the linq.js reference.

Answer 1

It's simple really:

var data = [
    { Id: 1, Name: 'NameOne' },
    { Id: 2, Name: 'NameTwo' },
    { Id: 2, Name: 'NameTwo' },
    { Id: 3, Name: 'NameThree' }
];
var query = Enumerable.From(data)
    // GroupBy (keySelector, elementSelector, resultSelector, compareSelector)
    .GroupBy(
        null, // (identity)
        null, // (identity)
        "{ Id: $.Id, Name: $.Name, Total: $$.Count() }",
        "'' + $.Id + '-' + $.Name"
    )
    .ToArray();

Use the overload of GroupBy() that includes the resultSelector, you'll want to grab the count of the grouped items (the second parameter).

You were probably having issues with the data not being uniform. a reduce flattens your data structure, and then you can manipulate it as you wish in the .Select().

var intialData = [[{ "Id": 1, "Name": "NameOne"}, { "Id": 2, "Name": "NameTwo"}, { "Id": 2, "Name": "NameTwo"}], { "Id": 3, "Name": "NameThree"}];         

var data = Enumerable.From(intialData.reduce(function(a,b) { return a.concat(b); }))
                     .GroupBy(function(item) { return item.Id; })
                     .Select(function(item) { return {"Id":item.source[0].Id, "Name":item.source[0].Name, "Total": item.source.length}; })
                     .ToArray();
