js flat array to multi-level array

I have an array like this:

[{
iStatusId: 4,
vStatus: "Under Preparation",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 2
},
{
iStatusId: 5,
vStatus: "Stamp & Signatures by Client",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 3
},
{
iStatusId: 7,
vStatus: "CA & CE Certification",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 6
},
{
iStatusId: 8,
vStatus: "Application Submission Date",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 4
},
{
iStatusId: 9,
vStatus: "File in HQ-BRU/Tech ",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 7
}]

And I need it like this:

[{iJobType: 1, data:
{
iStatusId: 4,
vStatus: "Under Preparation",
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 2
},
{
iStatusId: 5,
vStatus: "Stamp & Signatures by Client",
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 3
},
{
iStatusId: 7,
vStatus: "CA & CE Certification",
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 6
},
{
iStatusId: 8,
vStatus: "Application Submission Date",
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 4
},
{
iStatusId: 9,
vStatus: "File in HQ-BRU/Tech ",
verification",
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 7
}]

Please help.

Earlier I wrote a function to convert flat navigation array to a tree, but that does not help here.

$scope.navConvert = function(array) {
    var map = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        var obj = array[i];
        obj.items = [];

        map[obj.NavId] = obj;

        var parent = obj.NavParent || '-';
        if (!map[parent]) {
            map[parent] = {
                items: []
            };
        }
        map[parent].items.push(obj);
    }
    return map['-'].items;
}

So, I'm looking for a fresh direction.

If the requirement is for searching or filtering purpose, changing the structure of the data is not required. You can use the filter method to obtain the elements having a given iJobType value:

var arr = [{
iStatusId: 4,
vStatus: "Under Preparation",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 2
},
{
iStatusId: 5,
vStatus: "Stamp & Signatures by Client",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 3
},
{
iStatusId: 7,
vStatus: "CA & CE Certification",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 6
},
{
iStatusId: 8,
vStatus: "Application Submission Date",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 4
},
{
iStatusId: 9,
vStatus: "File in HQ-BRU/Tech ",
iJobType: 1,
bIsActive: true,
iOrder: 7
}];
arr

//1. define the filter function
function filterByJobType(value){
  //this.filterValue will be passed as a parameter in the filter execution
  return value.iJobType == this.jobTypeFilter
}

//2. res is the subset of elements from arr fullfilling the filter condition
var res = arr.filter(filterByJobType, {jobTypeFilter: 1 })

A simple function to create the new data array

var data = [{
        iStatusId: 4,
        vStatus: "Under Preparation",
        iJobType: 1,
        bIsActive: true,
        iOrder: 2
    },
    {
        iStatusId: 5,
        vStatus: "Stamp & Signatures by Client",
        iJobType: 1,
        bIsActive: true,
        iOrder: 3
    }
]   
var newData = []
for (var i in data) {
    var tempObj = {iJobType: data[i].iJobType, data: data[i]};
    delete tempObj.data.iJobType;
    newData.push(tempObj)
}

Output:

[{
    iJobType: 1,
        data: {
            iStatusId: 4,
            vStatus: "Under Preparation",
            bIsActive: true,
            iOrder: 2
        }
    },
    {
        iJobType: 1,
        data: {
            iStatusId: 5,
            vStatus: "Stamp & Signatures by Client",
            bIsActive: true,
            iOrder: 3
        }
    }
]

You could use a hash table as reference for the value of iJobType and build an array upon of this.

var data = [{ iStatusId: 4, vStatus: "Under Preparation", iJobType: 1, bIsActive: true, iOrder: 2 }, { iStatusId: 5, vStatus: "Stamp & Signatures by Client", iJobType: 1, bIsActive: true, iOrder: 3 }, { iStatusId: 7, vStatus: "CA & CE Certification", iJobType: 1, bIsActive: true, iOrder: 6 }, { iStatusId: 8, vStatus: "Application Submission Date", iJobType: 1, bIsActive: true, iOrder: 4 }, { iStatusId: 9, vStatus: "File in HQ-BRU/Tech ", iJobType: 1, bIsActive: true, iOrder: 7 }],
    grouped = [];

data.forEach(function (a) {
    if (!this[a.iJobType]) {
        this[a.iJobType] = { iJobType: a.iJobType, data: [] };
        grouped.push(this[a.iJobType]);
    }
    this[a.iJobType].data.push({
        iStatusId: a.iStatusId,
        vStatus: a.vStatus,
        bIsActive: a.bIsActive,
        iOrder: a.iOrder
    });
}, Object.create(null));

console.log(grouped);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }
