My js object:
data_obj = {'p1': 1, 'p2':2, 'p3':3}
my array
data_array = ['p1', 'p3']
Now, I want to filter the object based on the array. Expected result is
fil_obj = {'p1': 1, 'p3':3}
Now then, find the key having a maximum value. Expected result is
p3
Since I have object with thousands of items, I expect a very efficient solution. Since I'm using d3js for this project, solution based on d3js like d3.max would be great.
You could iterate the wanted properties and return the max key.
var data_obj = { p1: 1, p2: 2, p3: 3},
data_array = ['p1', 'p3'],
result = data_array.reduce(function (r, a, i) {
return !i || data_obj[r] < data_obj[a] ? a : r;
}, undefined);
console.log(result);
I've never used d3, but it seems to me you can get the result pretty efficiently with a single call to .reduce():
var data_obj = {'p1': 1, 'p2':2, 'p3':3};
var data_array = ['p1', 'p3'];
var results = data_array.reduce((r,v)=>{
if (v in data_obj) {
r.data[v] = data_obj[v];
if (data_obj[v] > r.maxVal) {
r.maxKey = v;
r.maxVal = data_obj[v];
}
}
return r;
}, {data:{}, maxKey:null, maxVal:Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY});
console.log(results);
