Filtering Objects with Random Number Keys in JavaScript ES6: A Simple Guide

When working with JavaScript, especially in the realm of React and ES6, you might encounter objects with dynamically generated keys that are often random strings or numbers. A common challenge for developers is filtering these objects to retrieve only the entries that meet certain criteria. In this post, we’ll explore how to filter out these objects in a clean and efficient way.

Understanding the Problem

Suppose you have an object where the keys are random UUIDs (universally unique identifiers) assigned to different items. Each item contains various properties like Id, Type, Name, etc. Your goal is to filter this object to get only those entries where the Type matches a specific value, for example, "Portfolio".

Here's a sample object structure to illustrate the problem:

Initially, you may attempt to filter the object by matching keys, but this approach won't yield results because your filtering criteria are based on the object values.

The Solution: Using Object.values and Filtering

To effectively filter your object based on properties, you can leverage ES6 methods like Object.values() combined with the filter() function. Below are the steps to accomplish this:

Step 1: Use Object.values()

Instead of working with the keys of the object (which are random), you can directly access the values of the object. This simplifies filtering since you can focus on the properties of the objects.

Step 2: Filter the Values

You will use the filter() method to check if the Type of each object matches the desired criteria (e.g., "Portfolio"). Here’s the final code snippet:

Step 3: Understanding the Code

Object.values(portfoliosData): This converts the object into an array of its values (the inner objects).

filter(({ Type }) = Type === allowedType): This function checks each object's Type property against the specified allowed type ("Portfolio" in this case). It keeps only those objects where the condition is true.

Conclusion

Filtering objects with random number keys in JavaScript ES6 doesn't have to be a daunting task. Using Object.values() in conjunction with filter() provides a streamlined way to access and filter your data based on specific properties.
Now you can easily adapt this technique to fit various criteria based on your project's needs. Happy coding!
