About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Group elements as arrays associated with distinct keys.
import groupValues from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/array-base-group-values@esm/index.mjs';Groups elements as arrays associated with distinct keys.
var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ];
var groups = [ 'b', 'b', 'f', 'b' ];
var out = groupValues( x, groups );
// returns { 'b': [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], 'f': [ 'foo' ] }-
Each value in
groupsshould resolve to a value which can be serialized as an object key. As a counterexample,var x = [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ]; var groups = [ {}, {}, {}, {} ]; var out = groupValues( x, groups ); // returns { '[object Object]': [ 'beep', 'boop', 'foo', 'bar' ] }
while each "group" is unique, all input array elements resolve to the same group because each group identifier serializes to the same string.
