Grouping by Date and Ordering by Time in JavaScript Arrays

When working with arrays of objects in JavaScript, you may encounter situations where you need to group data based on specific criteria. A common requirement is to group objects by a date (like a kick-off date for sports events) and then order those events by time. If you're struggling with how to achieve this, you're in the right place! In this post, we'll explore how to group your data effectively using the power of JavaScript.

The Problem

Suppose you have the following array of objects representing sport matches:

The challenge is to group these matches by the day of the kick_off date while also ensuring that they’re ordered by the time of the kick-off. The goal is to have a clear visualization of when matches are happening on each day.

Initial Approach: You might start by grouping the matches as you've done in the example here:

This results in grouping by the exact kick-off time, which isn’t what we want. The time differences can separate matches that occur on the same date.

The Solution

To arrive at the desired outcome, we can sort the matches by kick-off time first and then group them by the date. Here's how you can achieve this step by step:

Step 1: Sort the Array

Before you group the matches, sorting them helps ensure that they’re in the correct order based on kick-off time. You can accomplish this with the sort() method.

Step 2: Group by Day

After sorting, you'll extract the date portion of the kick-off string and use it as the key for grouping.

Final Implementation

Following is the complete code that combines both sorting and grouping:

What the Code Does

Sorting: matches.sort(...) sorts the matches based on the kick-off date and time.

Grouping: The reduce method creates an object where each key corresponds to a unique date. The matches occurring on that date are stored in an array.

Final Output

When you run the above code, the output will look something like this:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively group data by date while still maintaining the order by time in JavaScript. This method is not only useful for manipulating data in sports applications but can also be applied to various other domains where similar data grouping is required.
