Lodash - filtering nested array, passing a function

Question

I can't find a way to filter and extract only the itens in the nested arrays that match a specific criteria/expression

I've checked these links below but the solutions provided won't pass function to _.filter:

Find object by match property in nested array

lodash property search in array and in nested child arrays

Lodash - Search Nested Array and Return Object

So, let me explain it better. I currently have data that looks like this: How can I retrieve the itens inside "listEvents" array for all objects that matchs an criteria?

  }

This is the code I've tried so far, but it doesn't seem to work.

_.filter($scope.listModalities, _.flow(
            _.property('listEvents'),
            _.partialRight(_.filter, function (o) {
              var eventDate = new Date(o.Ini);
              eventDate.setHours(eventDate.getHours() - 24);
              var now = new Date();
              return o.De == true || eventDate < now;
            })
          ));

Provide an example of a criteria and the output after filtering using that criteria. — ibrahim mahrir

do you need the result to have nested object alone or do you need to the result to have parent object too ? a sample output would of great help — user93

If you map to listEvents then flatten you can get rid of one iteration loop and get the results you want like so:

var now = new Date();
var listEvents = _.chain(input).map((o) => o.listEvents).flatten().filter((o)=> {
  if(o.De === true) return true;
  var eventDate = new Date(o.Ini);
  eventDate.setHours(eventDate.getHours() - 24);
  return eventDate < now;
}).value();

now = null;

Also, you'll notice that I moved the equality check o.De === true so that if it is true the function will return without extra computation. In addition, and also for efficiency, I moved the definition of now out of the iteration.

Here's a pen also.

In addition, here's what it would look like in es5.

var now = new Date();
var listEvents = _.chain(input).map(function (o) {
  return o.listEvents;
}).flatten().filter(function (o) {
  if (o.De === true) return true;
  var eventDate = new Date(o.Ini);
  eventDate.setHours(eventDate.getHours() - 24);
  return eventDate < now;
}).value();

And the pen to go with.

Also, as was suggested in the comments, you can save another step with flatMap:

var now = new Date();
var listEvents = _.chain(input).flatMap('listEvents').filter(function (o) {
  if (o.De === true) return true;
  var eventDate = new Date(o.Ini);
  eventDate.setHours(eventDate.getHours() - 24);
  return eventDate < now;
}).value();

console.log(listEvents);

How a ES5 implementation would be?

Josh Bowling Over a year ago

Hi @LucasFonseca, I added it ^

Gruff Bunny Over a year ago

You could replace the map and flatten with flatMap('listEvents') making use of the property iteratee.

@GruffBunny thanks for the suggestion, I learned something. Got to love lodash!

Maybe you can try vanilla javascript way

var listEvents = []

myData.forEach((item) => {
item.listEvents.forEach((event) => {
     var eventDate = new Date(event.Ini);
     eventDate.setHours(eventDate.getHours() - 24);
     var now = new Date();
     if(event.De == true || eventDate < now){
        listEvents.push(event);
     }
  })
})
