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",

      category: "landmark"
    }
  ];
console.log(JSON.stringify(groupBy(state,'category','name')));

让我们在重用已经编写的代码（即Undercore）的同时充分回答最初的问题。如果将Undercore的>100个功能组合在一起，您可以使用Undercore做得更多。下面的解决方案演示了这一点。

步骤1：按财产的任意组合对数组中的对象进行分组。这使用了一个事实，即_.groupBy接受一个返回对象组的函数。它还使用了_.schain、_.pick、_.values、_.jjoin和_.value。请注意，这里并不严格需要_.value，因为链接的值在用作属性名称时会自动展开。我加入它是为了防止在没有自动展开的情况下有人试图编写类似的代码时发生混淆。

// Given an object, return a string naming the group it belongs to.
function category(obj) {
    return _.chain(obj).pick(propertyNames).values().join(' ').value();
}

// Perform the grouping.
const intermediate = _.groupBy(arrayOfObjects, category);

给定原始问题中的arrayOfObjects并将propertyNames设置为['Phase'，'Step']，intermediate将获得以下值：

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

步骤2：将每个组缩减为单个平面对象，并将结果返回到数组中。除了我们之前看到的函数之外，下面的代码使用了_.pulse、..first、..pick、..extend、..reduce和..map。.first保证在这种情况下返回一个对象，因为..groupBy不会产生空组。在这种情况下，值是必需的。

// Sum two numbers, even if they are contained in strings.
const addNumeric = (a, b) => +a + +b;

// Given a `group` of objects, return a flat object with their common
// properties and the sum of the property with name `aggregateProperty`.
function summarize(group) {
    const valuesToSum = _.pluck(group, aggregateProperty);
    return _.chain(group).first().pick(propertyNames).extend({
        [aggregateProperty]: _.reduce(valuesToSum, addNumeric)
    }).value();
}

// Get an array with all the computed aggregates.
const result = _.map(intermediate, summarize);

给定我们之前获得的中间值，并将aggregateProperty设置为Value，我们得到了询问者想要的结果：

[
    { 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 }
]

我们可以将所有这些放在一个函数中，该函数将arrayOfObjects、propertyNames和aggregateProperty作为参数。请注意，arrayOfObjects实际上也可以是带有字符串键的普通对象，因为_.groupBy接受其中之一。为此，我将arrayOfObjects重命名为collection。

function aggregate(collection, propertyNames, aggregateProperty) {
    function category(obj) {
        return _.chain(obj).pick(propertyNames).values().join(' ');
    }
    const addNumeric = (a, b) => +a + +b;
    function summarize(group) {
        const valuesToSum = _.pluck(group, aggregateProperty);
        return _.chain(group).first().pick(propertyNames).extend({
            [aggregateProperty]: _.reduce(valuesToSum, addNumeric)
        }).value();
    }
    return _.chain(collection).groupBy(category).map(summarize).value();
}

aggregate（arrayOfObjects，['Phase'，'Step']，'Value'）现在将再次为我们提供相同的结果。

我们可以更进一步，使调用者能够计算每个组中值的任何统计信息。我们可以这样做，也可以让调用者向每个组的摘要添加任意财产。我们可以在缩短代码的同时完成所有这些。我们用iteratee参数替换aggregateProperty参数，并将其直接传递给_.reduce：

function aggregate(collection, propertyNames, iteratee) {
    function category(obj) {
        return _.chain(obj).pick(propertyNames).values().join(' ');
    }
    function summarize(group) {
        return _.chain(group).first().pick(propertyNames)
            .extend(_.reduce(group, iteratee)).value();
    }
    return _.chain(collection).groupBy(category).map(summarize).value();
}

实际上，我们将部分责任转移给了来电者；她必须提供一个可以传递给.reduce的iterate，这样对.reduce的调用将生成一个包含她想要添加的聚合财产的对象。例如，我们使用以下表达式获得与之前相同的结果：

aggregate(arrayOfObjects, ['Phase', 'Step'], (memo, value) => ({
    Value: +memo.Value + +value.Value
}));

对于一个稍微复杂一点的迭代的示例，假设我们希望计算每个组的最大值而不是总和，并且我们希望添加一个列出组中出现的Task的所有值的Tasks属性。这里有一种方法可以做到这一点，使用上面最后一个版本的聚合（和_.union）：

aggregate(arrayOfObjects, ['Phase', 'Step'], (memo, value) => ({
    Value: Math.max(memo.Value, value.Value),
    Tasks: _.union(memo.Tasks || [memo.Task], [value.Task])
}));

我们得到以下结果：

[
    { Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", Value: 10, Tasks: [ "Task 1", "Task 2" ] },
    { Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", Value: 20, Tasks: [ "Task 1", "Task 2" ] },
    { Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", Value: 30, Tasks: [ "Task 1", "Task 2" ] },
    { Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", Value: 40, Tasks: [ "Task 1", "Task 2" ] }
]

归功于@much2learn，他还发布了一个可以处理任意缩减函数的答案。我又写了几个SO答案，演示了如何通过组合多个Undercore函数来实现复杂的功能：

https://stackoverflow.com/a/64938636/1166087https://stackoverflow.com/a/64094738/1166087https://stackoverflow.com/a/63625129/1166087https://stackoverflow.com/a/63088916/1166087

此解决方案采用任意函数（而不是键），因此比上述解决方案更灵活，并允许箭头函数，这与LINQ中使用的lambda表达式类似：

Array.prototype.groupBy = function (funcProp) {
    return this.reduce(function (acc, val) {
        (acc[funcProp(val)] = acc[funcProp(val)] || []).push(val);
        return acc;
    }, {});
};

注意：是否要扩展Array的原型取决于您。

大多数浏览器支持的示例：

[{a:1,b:"b"},{a:1,c:"c"},{a:2,d:"d"}].groupBy(function(c){return c.a;})

使用箭头函数（ES6）的示例：

[{a:1,b:"b"},{a:1,c:"c"},{a:2,d:"d"}].groupBy(c=>c.a)

以上两个示例都返回：

{
  "1": [{"a": 1, "b": "b"}, {"a": 1, "c": "c"}],
  "2": [{"a": 2, "d": "d"}]
}

您可以使用本机JavaScript组数组方法（目前处于第3阶段）。

我认为，与reduce相比，或者与lodash等第三方库相比，解决方案要优雅得多。

发帖是因为即使这个问题已经7年了，我仍然没有看到一个符合原始标准的答案：

我不希望它们“拆分”，而是“合并”，更像SQL组方法

我最初发表这篇文章是因为我想找到一种方法来减少对象数组（例如，当您从csv中读取时创建的数据结构），并通过给定索引聚合以生成相同的数据结构。我正在寻找的返回值是另一个对象数组，而不是我在这里看到的嵌套对象或映射。

下面的函数获取一个数据集（对象数组）、一个索引列表（数组）和一个reducer函数，并将reducer功能应用于索引的结果作为一个对象数组返回。

function agg(data, indices, reducer) {

  // helper to create unique index as an array
  function getUniqueIndexHash(row, indices) {
    return indices.reduce((acc, curr) => acc + row[curr], "");
  }

  // reduce data to single object, whose values will be each of the new rows
  // structure is an object whose values are arrays
  // [{}] -> {{}}
  // no operation performed, simply grouping
  let groupedObj = data.reduce((acc, curr) => {
    let currIndex = getUniqueIndexHash(curr, indices);

    // if key does not exist, create array with current row
    if (!Object.keys(acc).includes(currIndex)) {
      acc = {...acc, [currIndex]: [curr]}
    // otherwise, extend the array at currIndex
    } else {
      acc = {...acc, [currIndex]: acc[currIndex].concat(curr)};
    }

    return acc;
  }, {})

  // reduce the array into a single object by applying the reducer
  let reduced = Object.values(groupedObj).map(arr => {
    // for each sub-array, reduce into single object using the reducer function
    let reduceValues = arr.reduce(reducer, {});

    // reducer returns simply the aggregates - add in the indices here
    // each of the objects in "arr" has the same indices, so we take the first
    let indexObj = indices.reduce((acc, curr) => {
      acc = {...acc, [curr]: arr[0][curr]};
      return acc;
    }, {});

    reduceValues = {...indexObj, ...reduceValues};


    return reduceValues;
  });


  return reduced;
}

我将创建一个返回count（*）和sum（Value）的reducer：

reducer = (acc, curr) => {
  acc.count = 1 + (acc.count || 0);
  acc.value = +curr.Value + (acc.value|| 0);
  return acc;
}

最后，使用我们的reducer将agg函数应用于原始数据集会生成一个应用了适当聚合的对象数组：

agg(tasks, ["Phase"], reducer);
// yields:
Array(2) [
  0: Object {Phase: "Phase 1", count: 4, value: 50}
  1: Object {Phase: "Phase 2", count: 4, value: 130}
]

agg(tasks, ["Phase", "Step"], reducer);
// yields:
Array(4) [
  0: Object {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 1", count: 2, value: 15}
  1: Object {Phase: "Phase 1", Step: "Step 2", count: 2, value: 35}
  2: Object {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 1", count: 2, value: 55}
  3: Object {Phase: "Phase 2", Step: "Step 2", count: 2, value: 75}
]
