I want to create an Object of array from the flat array which i will be getting from the query results and want to create json structure as a response to pass it as api response. For eg- Flat array-
[{
user_id: '2311123',
user_country: 'United States',
user_city: 'ny',
ssn: 229
},
{
user_id: '451313',
user_country: 'United States',
user_city: 'abc',
ssn: 147
},
{
user_id: '65345',
user_country: 'United States',
user_city: 'abc',
ssn: 444
},
{
user_id: '763343',
user_country: 'Australia',
user_city: 'auus',
ssn: 678
}]
I want to create a structure like- Expected Output
{
"United States": [
{
"ny": [
{
"user_id": "2311123",
"ssn": "7"
}
]
},
{
"abc": [
{
"user_id": "451313",
"ssn": "147"
},
{
"user_id": "65345",
"ssn": "444"
}
]
}
],
"Australia": [
{
"auus": [
{
"user_id": "763343",
"ssn": "678"
}
]
}
]
}
which has user_country array of objects and user_city array of objects mapped. I have tried this code, but coudnt achieve the expected output.:
const map = {};
results.forEach(arr => {
console.log("arr",arr)
if(map[arr.user_country]){
if(!map[arr.user_country].includes(arr.user_city))
map[arr.user_country].push(arr.user_city);
}else{
map[arr.user_country] = [arr.user_city]
}
});
console.log(map);

This could produce expected results:
const array = [{ user_id: '2311123', user_country: 'United States', user_city: 'ny', ssn: 229 }, { user_id: '451313', user_country: 'United States', user_city: 'abc', ssn: 147 }, { user_id: '65345', user_country: 'United States', user_city: 'abc', ssn: 444 }, { user_id: '763343', user_country: 'Australia', user_city: 'auus', ssn: 678 }];
const map = array.reduce((map, {user_country, user_city, ...userInfo}) => {
if (!map[user_country]) {
map[user_country] = [{[user_city]: [{...userInfo}]}];
} else {
const ex = map[user_country].find(city => Object.keys(city)[0] === user_city);
if (!ex) {
map[user_country].push({[user_city]: [{...userInfo}]});
} else {
Object.values(ex)[0].push({...userInfo});
}
}
return map;
}, {});
console.log(map);
