MDN的Array.reduce（）文档中有此示例。

// Grouping objects by a property

var people = [
  { name: 'Alice', age: 21 },
  { name: 'Max', age: 20 },
  { name: 'Jane', age: 20 }
];

function groupBy(objectArray, property) {
  return objectArray.reduce(function (acc, obj) {
    var key = obj[property];
    if (!acc[key]) {
      acc[key] = [];
    }
    acc[key].push(obj);
    return acc;
  }, {});
}

var groupedPeople = groupBy(people, 'age');
// groupedPeople is:
// { 
//   20: [
//     { name: 'Max', age: 20 },

我会检查声明性js groupBy，它似乎正符合您的要求。它也是：

非常有性能（性能基准）用打字机书写，所以所有打字都包括在内。不强制使用第三方类似数组的对象。

import groupBy = Reducers.groupBy;

Array.prototype.groupBy = function(keyFunction) {

    this.forEach(function(el) {
        var key = keyFunction(el);
        if (key in groups == false) {
