虽然linq的回答很有趣，但它也很重。我的方法有些不同：

var DataGrouper = (function() {
    var has = function(obj, target) {
        return _.any(obj, function(value) {
            return _.isEqual(value, target);
        });
    };

    var keys = function(data, names) {
        return _.reduce(data, function(memo, item) {
            var key = _.pick(item, names);
            if (!has(memo, key)) {
                memo.push(key);
            }
            return memo;
        }, []);
    };

    var group = function(data, names) {
        var stems = keys(data, names);
        return _.map(stems, function(stem) {
            return {
                key: stem,
                vals:_.map(_.where(data, stem), function(item) {
                    return _.omit(item, names);
                })
            };
        });
    };

    group.register = function(name, converter) {
        return group[name] = function(data, names) {
            return _.map(group(data, names), converter);
        };
    };

    return group;
}());

DataGrouper.register("sum", function(item) {
    return _.extend({}, item.key, {Value: _.reduce(item.vals, function(memo, node) {
        return memo + Number(node.Value);
    }, 0)});
});

您可以在JSBin上看到它的作用。

我在Undercore中没有看到任何东西可以做已经做的事情，尽管我可能会错过它。它与_.incontains非常相似，但使用_.isEqual而不是==进行比较。除此之外，其余部分都是针对具体问题的，尽管只是试图通用。

现在DataGrouper.sum（data，[“Phase”]）返回

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

DataGrouper.sum（data，[“Phase”，“Step”]）返回

[
    {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Value: 15},
    {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Value: 35},
    {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Value: 55},
    {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Value: 75}
]

但和在这里只是一个势函数。您可以根据需要注册其他人：

DataGrouper.register("max", function(item) {
    return _.extend({}, item.key, {Max: _.reduce(item.vals, function(memo, node) {
        return Math.max(memo, Number(node.Value));
    }, Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY)});
});

现在DataGrouper.max（data，[“Phase”，“Step”]）将返回

[
    {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Max: 10},
    {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Max: 20},
    {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Max: 30},
    {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Max: 40}
]

或者如果您注册了：

DataGrouper.register("tasks", function(item) {
    return _.extend({}, item.key, {Tasks: _.map(item.vals, function(item) {
      return item.Task + " (" + item.Value + ")";
    }).join(", ")});
});

然后调用DataGrouper.tasks（data，[“Phase”，“Step”]）将得到

[
    {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Tasks: "Task 1 (5), Task 2 (10)"},
    {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Tasks: "Task 1 (15), Task 2 (20)"},
    {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Tasks: "Task 1 (25), Task 2 (30)"},
    {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Tasks: "Task 1 (35), Task 2 (40)"}
]

DataGrouper本身是一个函数。可以用数据和要分组的财产列表来调用它。它返回一个数组，该数组的元素是具有两个财产的对象：key是分组财产的集合，vals是包含不在key中的其余财产的对象数组。例如，DataGrouper（data，[“Phase”，“Step”]）将产生：

[
    {
        "key": {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1"},
        "vals": [
            {Task: "Task 1", Value: "5"},
            {Task: "Task 2", Value: "10"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "key": {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2"},
        "vals": [
            {Task: "Task 1", Value: "15"}, 
            {Task: "Task 2", Value: "20"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "key": {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1"},
        "vals": [
            {Task: "Task 1", Value: "25"},
            {Task: "Task 2", Value: "30"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "key": {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2"},
        "vals": [
            {Task: "Task 1", Value: "35"}, 
            {Task: "Task 2", Value: "40"}
        ]
    }
]

DataGrouper.register接受一个函数并创建一个新函数，该函数接受初始数据和分组依据的财产。然后，这个新函数采用上述输出格式，并依次对每个输出格式运行函数，返回一个新数组。生成的函数根据您提供的名称存储为DataGrouper的属性，如果您只需要本地引用，也会返回。

这是很多解释。我希望代码相当简单！

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:

    {
      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:

      category: "airport"

    {

      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')));

Array.prototype.groupBy = function(keyFunction) {
    var groups = {};
    this.forEach(function(el) {
        var key = keyFunction(el);
        if (key in groups == false) {
            groups[key] = [];
        }
        groups[key].push(el);
    });
    return Object.keys(groups).map(function(key) {
        return {
            key: key,
            values: groups[key]
        };
    });
};

为了补充Scott Sauyet的答案，一些人在评论中询问如何使用他的函数按值1、值2等分组，而不是仅对一个值分组。

只需编辑他的求和函数：

DataGrouper.register("sum", function(item) {
    return _.extend({}, item.key,
        {VALUE1: _.reduce(item.vals, function(memo, node) {
        return memo + Number(node.VALUE1);}, 0)},
        {VALUE2: _.reduce(item.vals, function(memo, node) {
        return memo + Number(node.VALUE2);}, 0)}
    );
});

保持主组（DataGrouper）不变：

var DataGrouper = (function() {
    var has = function(obj, target) {
        return _.any(obj, function(value) {
            return _.isEqual(value, target);
        });
    };

    var keys = function(data, names) {
        return _.reduce(data, function(memo, item) {
            var key = _.pick(item, names);
            if (!has(memo, key)) {
                memo.push(key);
            }
            return memo;
        }, []);
    };

    var group = function(data, names) {
        var stems = keys(data, names);
        return _.map(stems, function(stem) {
            return {
                key: stem,
                vals:_.map(_.where(data, stem), function(item) {
                    return _.omit(item, names);
                })
            };
        });
    };

    group.register = function(name, converter) {
        return group[name] = function(data, names) {
            return _.map(group(data, names), converter);
        };
    };

    return group;
}());

使用ES6：

const groupBy = (items, key) => items.reduce(
  (result, item) => ({
    ...result,
    [item[key]]: [
      ...(result[item[key]] || []),
      item,
    ],
  }), 
  {},
);
