I have a json object like this. Each of this json object can have mon Product name, for example orgs[0] & orgs[3] have same product name.

"orgs":
    [{
    "Budget Actual Consumption": "12.00",
    "Budget Planned Consumption": "50.00",
    "Product": "Loyalty CO-brand"

}, {
    "Budget Actual Consumption": "11.00",
    "Budget Planned Consumption": "60.00",
    "Product": "Loaylty Rebates"
}, {
    "Budget Actual Consumption": "10.00",
    "Budget Planned Consumption": "7.00",
    "Product": "Loaylty Rebates"
}, {

    "Budget Actual Consumption": "9.00",
    "Budget Planned Consumption": "8.00",
    "Product": "Loyalty CO-brand"
}]

Is it possible to create a new array in such a way that it will have unique multiple object each of which have unique product name & other key will be summed up

For example

var someArray = [{
   name:"Loyalty CO-brand",
   bac:"21" //12+9
   pac:"58" //50+8
},{
  name:"Loaylty Rebates",
   bac:"21" //10+11
   pac:"67" //60+7 

}]

I tried by first creating an array of unique Product,then using forEach twice one inside another. But I could not successfully plete that as I am not sure how will I add up the other keys value when there is a matching Products

• 1 do you need the spaces behind the number in the strings? – Nina Scholz Commented Jun 27, 2016 at 11:51
• No i dont need those space, I have edited it – brk Commented Jun 27, 2016 at 11:52
• please, show us your code and what's not working in it – rafaelcastrocouto Commented Jun 27, 2016 at 11:53
• 2 I think you have some typos in your desired result.. Both are "Loyalty CO-brand", one should probably be "Loyalty Rebates". And also, I don't think 60+7 = 58, and 50+8 = 67. – Arg0n Commented Jun 27, 2016 at 11:57
• @Arg0n thanks yes that was a typo, I have updated it – brk Commented Jun 27, 2016 at 12:00

The solution using Array.forEach function:

var org = { "orgs": [{ "Budget Actual Consumption": "12.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "50.00 ", "Product": "Loyalty CO-brand" }, { "Budget Actual Consumption": "11.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "60.00 ", "Product": "Loaylty Rebates" }, { "Budget Actual Consumption": "10.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "7.00 ", "Product": "Loaylty Rebates" }, { "Budget Actual Consumption": "9.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "8.00 ", "Product": "Loyalty CO-brand" }] },
    newArr = [], bac = 'Budget Actual Consumption', pac = 'Budget Planned Consumption';

orgs.forEach(function (o) {
    if (!this[o.Product]) {
        this[o.Product] = {name: o.Product, bac: +o[bac], pac: +o[pac]};
        newArr.push(this[o.Product]);
    } else {
        this[o.Product]['bac'] += +o[bac];
        this[o.Product]['pac'] += +o[pac];
    }                
}, {});

console.log(JSON.stringify(newArr, 0, 4));

The output:

[
    {
        "name": "Loyalty CO-brand",
        "bac": 21,
        "pac": 58
    },
    {
        "name": "Loaylty Rebates",
        "bac": 21,
        "pac": 67
    }
]

Assuming that the result should be grouped by Product, the you could use an object as hash table for the objects of the result array.

When you omit the requirement of getting strings instead of numbers, the algorithm would be shorter.

var data = { "orgs": [{ "Budget Actual Consumption": "12.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "50.00 ", "Product": "Loyalty CO-brand" }, { "Budget Actual Consumption": "11.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "60.00 ", "Product": "Loaylty Rebates" }, { "Budget Actual Consumption": "10.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "7.00 ", "Product": "Loaylty Rebates" }, { "Budget Actual Consumption": "9.00 ", "Budget Planned Consumption": "8.00 ", "Product": "Loyalty CO-brand" }] },
    grouped = [];

datas.forEach(function (a) {
    if (!this[a.Product]) {
        this[a.Product] = { name: a.Product, bac: '0', pac: '0' };
        grouped.push(this[a.Product]);
    }
    this[a.Product].bac = (+this[a.Product].bac + +a['Budget Actual Consumption']).toString();
    this[a.Product].pac = (+this[a.Product].bac + +a['Budget Planned Consumption']).toString();

}, Object.create(null));

console.log(grouped);

I found a nice solution with Underscore groupBy

http://codepen.io/therealplato/pen/KMWPPN

//foo = {"orgs":[...]}
console.log(foo);
grouped = _.groupBy(foos, grouper);
console.log(grouped);
function grouper(item) {
  return item["Product"];
}
