无突变：

const groupBy = (xs, key) => xs.reduce((acc, x) => Object.assign({}, acc, {
  [x[key]]: (acc[x[key]] || []).concat(x)
}), {})

console.log(groupBy(['one', 'two', 'three'], 'length'));
// => {3: ["one", "two"], 5: ["three"]}

您可以使用Alasql JavaScript库来实现：

var data = [ { Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 1", Value: "5" },
             { Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Task: "Task 2", Value: "10" }];

var res = alasql('SELECT Phase, Step, SUM(CAST([Value] AS INT)) AS [Value] \
                  FROM ? GROUP BY Phase, Step',[data]);

在jsFiddle尝试这个示例。

BTW：在大型阵列（100000条记录及以上）上，Alasql比Linq更快。参见jsPref中的测试。

评论：

这里我将Value放在方括号中，因为Value是SQL中的关键字我必须使用CAST（）函数将字符串值转换为数字类型。

在我的特定用例中，我需要按属性分组，然后删除分组属性。

无论如何，该属性只是为了分组目的而添加到记录中的，对于向用户显示它没有意义。

    group (arr, key) {

        let prop;

        return arr.reduce(function(rv, x) {
            prop = x[key];
            delete x[key];
            (rv[prop] = (rv[prop] || [])).push(x);
            return rv;
        }, {});

    },

顶部答案中的起始函数归功于@caesar bautista。

具有排序功能

export const groupBy = function groupByArray(xs, key, sortKey) {
      return xs.reduce(function(rv, x) {
        let v = key instanceof Function ? key(x) : x[key];
        let el = rv.find(r => r && r.key === v);

        if (el) {
          el.values.push(x);
          el.values.sort(function(a, b) {
            return a[sortKey].toLowerCase().localeCompare(b[sortKey].toLowerCase());
          });
        } else {
          rv.push({ key: v, values: [x] });
        }

        return rv;
      }, []);
    };

示例：

var state = [
    {
      name: "Arkansas",
      population: "2.978M",
      flag:
  "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Flag_of_Arkansas.svg",
      category: "city"
    },{
      name: "Crkansas",
      population: "2.978M",
      flag:
        "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Flag_of_Arkansas.svg",
      category: "city"
    },
    {
      name: "Balifornia",
      population: "39.14M",
      flag:
        "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Flag_of_California.svg",
      category: "city"
    },
    {
      name: "Florida",
      population: "20.27M",
      flag:
        "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Flag_of_Florida.svg",
      category: "airport"
    },
    {
      name: "Texas",
      population: "27.47M",
      flag:
        "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f7/Flag_of_Texas.svg",
      category: "landmark"
    }
  ];
console.log(JSON.stringify(groupBy(state,'category','name')));

使用linq.js可能更容易做到这一点，它是linq在JavaScript（DEMO）中的真正实现：

var linq = Enumerable.From(data);
var result =
    linq.GroupBy(function(x){ return x.Phase; })
        .Select(function(x){
          return {
            Phase: x.Key(),
            Value: x.Sum(function(y){ return y.Value|0; })
          };
        }).ToArray();

结果：

[
    { Phase: "Phase 1", Value: 50 },
    { Phase: "Phase 2", Value: 130 }
]

或者，更简单地使用基于字符串的选择器（DEMO）：

linq.GroupBy("$.Phase", "",
    "k,e => { Phase:k, Value:e.Sum('$.Value|0') }").ToArray();

从@mortb、@jmarceli的回答和这篇文章中，

我利用JSON.stringify（）作为分组依据的PRIMITIVE VALUE多列的标识。

无第三方

function groupBy(list, keyGetter) {
    const map = new Map();
    list.forEach((item) => {
        const key = keyGetter(item);
        if (!map.has(key)) {
            map.set(key, [item]);
        } else {
            map.get(key).push(item);
        }
    });
    return map;
}

const pets = [
    {type:"Dog", age: 3, name:"Spot"},
    {type:"Cat", age: 3, name:"Tiger"},
    {type:"Dog", age: 4, name:"Rover"}, 
    {type:"Cat", age: 3, name:"Leo"}
];

const grouped = groupBy(pets,
pet => JSON.stringify({ type: pet.type, age: pet.age }));

console.log(grouped);

使用Lodash第三方

const pets = [
    {type:"Dog", age: 3, name:"Spot"},
    {type:"Cat", age: 3, name:"Tiger"},
    {type:"Dog", age: 4, name:"Rover"}, 
    {type:"Cat", age: 3, name:"Leo"}
];

let rslt = _.groupBy(pets, pet => JSON.stringify(
 { type: pet.type, age: pet.age }));

console.log(rslt);
