Adding Numbers Inside an Array of Arrays in JavaScript

When working with complex data structures in JavaScript, such as arrays of arrays, you might find yourself needing to sum values separately for each nested array. This is a common situation when handling data related to items, like bags of products, where each item's details are kept in an inner array. In this guide, we will address a specific challenge: how to sum values from nested arrays correctly using a combination of map and reduce.

The Problem

You have an array of objects, where each object contains an array of item details. The goal is to extract and sum a specific property (sizeOfBag) for each array of item details independently. The expected output from the operations would be an array that contains the sum of sizeOfBag for each inner array.

Here’s a snippet of the data structure you might be dealing with:

The desired output for this data is [1, 11], representing the total sizes of bags from each item's details.

The Solution

To achieve the expected output, you can use the map and reduce methods. Here’s how to break it down:

Step 1: Mapping to Item Details

The first step is to transform the original data into a structure that allows easy access to the item details. We can do this by using the map function, which will give us an array of itemDetails arrays.

Step 2: Reducing Each Inner Array

Now that we have our newData, each element in this array could still be an outer array containing multiple size values. We want to sum the sizeOfBag for each of these inner arrays. Here’s where the reduce function comes into play:

Step 3: Finalizing with a Simple Loop (Optional)

If you prefer to use a loop for clarity or personal preference, it is certainly possible:

Conclusion

By utilizing JavaScript's array methods, specifically map and reduce, you can elegantly sum values within arrays of arrays. This approach not only aids in achieving the expected results but also enhances code readability and efficiency. The final array [1, 11] reflects this process, providing a clear summary of the bag sizes for each item.

Feel free to experiment with different properties or structures within your data, and remember that clean, organized code can significantly aid your development workflow!
