group objects array underscore js

I'm getting an array back from an URL which looks like this:

[
   {
     id : 1,
     product_id : 101,
     price_new : 80,
     price_old : 90
   },
   {
     id : 2,
     product_id : 101,
     price_new : 80,
     price_old : 90
   },
   {
     id : 3,
     product_id : 102,
     price_new : 80,
     price_old : 90
   },
]

I would like to transform this, to:

[
   {
     product_id : 101,
     offers : [
     {
       id: 1
       price_new : 80,
       price_old : 90
     },{
       id: 2
       price_new : 80,
       price_old : 90
     }]
   },
   {
     product_id : 102,
     offers: [{
       id : 3,
       price_new : 80,
       price_old : 90
     }]
   },
]

Anyone who knows how to get this done using underscore js? Would love to get a solution using underscore cause we're using it in our entire project and it looks more clean, so...

You should be able to use underscore's groupBy method to group them, although it won't (on its own) remove the product_id from each record. You can then take each key and use them as array elements.

var data = [{
  id: 1,
  product_id: 101,
  price_new: 100,
  price_old: 90
}, {
  id: 2,
  product_id: 101,
  price_new: 100,
  price_old: 90
}, {
  id: 3,
  product_id: 102,
  price_new: 100,
  price_old: 90
}, ];

var grouped = _.chain(data).groupBy("product_id").map(function(offers, product_id) {
  // Optionally remove product_id from each record
  var cleanOffers = _.map(offers, function(it) {
    return _.omit(it, "product_id");
  });

  return {
    product_id: product_id,
    offers: cleanOffers
  };
}).value();

document.getElementById("results").textContent = JSON.stringify(grouped);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.7.0/underscore-min.js"></script>
<pre id="results"></pre>
