The min() method is used to return the minimum element from the given array or collection. The method can be specified with a key as a parameter so that only the values of that key in the collection would be considered and the minimum element would be found from those values.
Syntax:
collect(array).min(key)
Parameters: The collect() method takes one argument that is converted into the collection and then min() method is applied to it. The min() method holds the key as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the minimum element from the given collection.
Below example illustrate the min() method in collect.js:
Example 1:
Javascript
const collect = require( 'collect.js' ); let arr = [10, 15, -20, -25, 40, 50, -70]; const collection = collect(arr); const min_val = collection.min(); console.log(min_val); |
Output:
-70
Example 2:
Javascript
const collect = require( 'collect.js' ); let obj = [ { name: 'Rahul' , dob: '25-10-96' , section: 'A' , score: 98, }, { name: 'Aditya' , dob: '25-10-96' , section: 'B' , score: 96, }, { name: 'Abhishek' , dob: '16-08-94' , section: 'A' , score: 80 } ]; const collection = collect(obj); const min_score = collection.min( 'score' ); console.log(min_score); |
