function groupBy(array, groupBy){
        return array.reduce((acc,curr,index,array) => {
           var  idx = curr[groupBy]; 
              if(!acc[idx]){
                    acc[idx] = array.filter(item => item[groupBy] === idx)

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]
        };
    });
};

使用ES6：

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

groupBy函数，可以通过特定键或给定的分组函数对数组进行分组。键入。

groupBy = <T, K extends keyof T>(array: T[], groupOn: K | ((i: T) => string)): Record<string, T[]> => {
  const groupFn = typeof groupOn === 'function' ? groupOn : (o: T) => o[groupOn];

  return Object.fromEntries(
    array.reduce((acc, obj) => {
      const groupKey = groupFn(obj);
      return acc.set(groupKey, [...(acc.get(groupKey) || []), obj]);
    }, new Map())
  ) as Record<string, T[]>;
};

let x  = [
  {
    "id": "6",
    "name": "SMD L13",
    "equipmentType": {
      "id": "1",
      "name": "SMD"
    }
  },
  {
    "id": "7",
    "name": "SMD L15",
    "equipmentType": {
      "id": "1",
      "name": "SMD"
    }
  },
  {
    "id": "2",
    "name": "SMD L1",
    "equipmentType": {
      "id": "1",
      "name": "SMD"
    }
  }
];

function groupBy(array, property) {
  return array.reduce((accumulator, current) => {
    const object_property = current[property];
    delete current[property]

    let classified_element = accumulator.find(x => x.id === object_property.id);
    let other_elements = accumulator.filter(x => x.id !== object_property.id);

   if (classified_element) {
     classified_element.children.push(current)
   } else {
     classified_element = {
       ...object_property, 
       'children': [current]
     }
   }
   return [classified_element, ...other_elements];
 }, [])
}

console.log( groupBy(x, 'equipmentType') )

/* output 

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "SMD",
    "children": [
      {
        "id": "6",
        "name": "SMD L13"
      },
      {
        "id": "7",
        "name": "SMD L15"
      },
      {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "SMD L1"
      }
    ]

GroupBy one liner，ES2021解决方案

const groupBy = (x,f)=>x.reduce((a,b,i)=>((a[f(b,i,x)]||=[]).push(b),a),{});

TypeScript（类型脚本）

const groupBy = <T>(array: T[], predicate: (value: T, index: number, array: T[]) => string) =>
  array.reduce((acc, value, index, array) => {
    (acc[predicate(value, index, array)] ||= []).push(value);
    return acc;
  }, {} as { [key: string]: T[] });

示例

const groupBy = (x,f)=>x.reduce((a,b,i)=>((a[f(b,i,x)]||=[]).push(b),a),{});
// f -> should must return string/number because it will be use as key in object

// for demo

groupBy([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], v => (v % 2 ? "odd" : "even"));
// { odd: [1, 3, 5, 7, 9], even: [2, 4, 6, 8] };
const colors = [
  "Apricot",
  "Brown",
  "Burgundy",
  "Cerulean",
  "Peach",
  "Pear",
  "Red",
];

groupBy(colors, v => v[0]); // group by colors name first letter
// {
//   A: ["Apricot"],
//   B: ["Brown", "Burgundy"],
//   C: ["Cerulean"],
//   P: ["Peach", "Pear"],
//   R: ["Red"],
// };
groupBy(colors, v => v.length); // group by length of color names
// {
//   3: ["Red"],
//   4: ["Pear"],
//   5: ["Brown", "Peach"],
//   7: ["Apricot"],
//   8: ["Burgundy", "Cerulean"],
// }

const data = [
  { comment: "abc", forItem: 1, inModule: 1 },
  { comment: "pqr", forItem: 1, inModule: 1 },
  { comment: "klm", forItem: 1, inModule: 2 },
  { comment: "xyz", forItem: 1, inModule: 2 },
];

groupBy(data, v => v.inModule); // group by module
// {
//   1: [
//     { comment: "abc", forItem: 1, inModule: 1 },
//     { comment: "pqr", forItem: 1, inModule: 1 },
//   ],
//   2: [
//     { comment: "klm", forItem: 1, inModule: 2 },
//     { comment: "xyz", forItem: 1, inModule: 2 },
//   ],
// }

groupBy(data, x => x.forItem + "-" + x.inModule); // group by module with item
// {
//   "1-1": [
//     { comment: "abc", forItem: 1, inModule: 1 },
//     { comment: "pqr", forItem: 1, inModule: 1 },
//   ],
//   "1-2": [
//     { comment: "klm", forItem: 1, inModule: 2 },
//     { comment: "xyz", forItem: 1, inModule: 2 },
//   ],
// }

按映射分组

const groupByToMap = (x, f) =>
  x.reduce((a, b, i, x) => {
    const k = f(b, i, x);
    a.get(k)?.push(b) ?? a.set(k, [b]);
    return a;
  }, new Map());

TypeScript（类型脚本）

const groupByToMap = <T, Q>(array: T[], predicate: (value: T, index: number, array: T[]) => Q) =>
  array.reduce((map, value, index, array) => {
    const key = predicate(value, index, array);
    map.get(key)?.push(value) ?? map.set(key, [value]);
    return map;
  }, new Map<Q, T[]>());
