lodash pick object fields from array
In plain Javascript you could iterate with Array#map and assemble a new object for each object without mutilation the original object.
var results = [{ "_type": "MyType", "_id": "57623535a44b8f1417740a13", "_source": { "info": { "year": 2010, "number": "string", }, "type": "stolen", "date": "2016-06-16T00:00:00", "createdBy": "57469f3c71c8bf2479d225a6" } }],
res = results.map(function (a) {
var o = { _id: a._id };
["info", "type", "date", "createdBy"].forEach(function (k) {
o[k] = a._source[k];
});
return o;
});
console.log(res);You could do:
var mapped = _.map(results, _.partialRight(_.pick, ['_id', 'info', 'type', 'date', 'createdBy']));
A little explanation:
_.map(): Expects a function which takes each item from the collection so that you can map it to something else._.partialRight(): Takes a function which will be called later on with the its arguments appended to the end_.pick(): Gets the path specified from the object.
I had the same requirement, and the below solution worked best for me.
let users = [
{
"_id": "5ead7783ed74d152f86de7b0",
"first_name": "User First name 1",
"last_name": "User Last name 1",
"email": "[email protected]",
"phone": 9587788888
},
{
"_id": "5ead7b780d4bc43fd0ef92e7",
"first_name": "User FIRST name 1",
"last_name": "User LAST name 1",
"email": "[email protected]",
"phone": 9587788888
}
];
users = users.map(user => _.pick(user,['_id','first_name']))
console.log(users)<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.4/lodash.min.js"></script>
