_.keyBy( collection, iteratee )

Parameters:

  • collection (Array|Object) parameter holds the collection to iterate over.
  • iteratee(Function) parameter holds the iteratee to transform keys.

Return Value:

This method returns the composed aggregate object.

Example 1:

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
 
// Original array
let array = [
    { 'dir': 'left', 'code': 89 },
    { 'dir': 'right', 'code': 71 }
];
 
// Use of _.keyBy() method
let keyby_array = _.keyBy(array, 'dir');
 
// Printing the output
console.log(keyby_array);

{ 'left': { 'dir': 'left', 'code': 89 }, 
'right': { 'dir': 'right', 'code': 71 } }

Example 2:

// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");
 
// Original array

// Use of _.keyBy() method
let keyby_array = _.keyBy(array, function (o) {
    return String.fromCharCode(o.code);
});
