How to filter array of objects in React

Question

I have an array of timeseries objects that I need to filter in React. Specifically, I need to return an array containing a filtered subset of the array of objects, based on the value of device_id being equal to e.g. 7F34B296.

The raw array looks as below:

[
    {
        "label": "time_stamp",
        "data": [
            "2019-04-17 21:01:25.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:30.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:35.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:40.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:45.673949957+02:00"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "device_id",
        "data": [
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "AB22438D",
            "AB22438D"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "parameter_x",
        "data": [
            "929.1965116",
            "927.5152582",
            "928.7476077",
            "1919.2691327",
            "1918.7047619"
        ]
    }
]

The intended output array (after filtering) looks as below:

[
    {
        "label": "time_stamp",
        "data": [
            "2019-04-17 21:01:25.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:30.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:35.673949957+02:00"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "device_id",
        "data": [
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "parameter_x",
        "data": [
            "929.1965116",
            "927.5152582",
            "928.7476077"
        ]
    }
]

I tried using various methods, including below - but I seem unable to get the desired result. I think I'm missing the part on how to handle that the filtering of the entire array of objects should depend on the value of a subset of one of the objects.

const filters = [
    {
      predicateFn: data => data.data == "7F34B296"
    }
  ];

  function getFilteredPersons(filters) {
    return datasets.filter(p => filters.every(filter => filter.predicateFn(p)));
  }

  console.log(getFilteredPersons(filters));

Yes, that is correct. The raw data comes from an SQL query based on a simple CSV database. To avoid having to call the SQL query for each device_id, I instead include the device_id as a column in the query output and aim to filter the data once fetched to split it by device_id. I've not found other posts where the filtering of the entire array has to be done based on the object data of one of the arrays. — mfcss

It won't work with filter by itself, you need to map the object - adding an id to each entry, then filter by it, eventually mapping and removing the id added — Dennis Vash

Maybe try to map your data to some kind of the structure f.e.:

const joinedData = []
data.map((element) =>
  element.data.map((e, i) => joinedData[i] = { [element.label]: e, ...joinedData[i]}))

Then you will have transformed data in shape:

 [
      {
        parameter_x: '929.1965116',
        device_id: '7F34B296',
        time_stamp: '2019-04-17 21:01:25.673949957+02:00'
      },
      {
        parameter_x: '927.5152582',
        device_id: '7F34B296',
        time_stamp: '2019-04-17 21:01:30.673949957+02:00'
      },
      {
        parameter_x: '928.7476077',
        device_id: '7F34B296',
        time_stamp: '2019-04-17 21:01:35.673949957+02:00'
      },
      {
        parameter_x: '1919.2691327',
        device_id: 'AB22438D',
        time_stamp: '2019-04-17 21:01:40.673949957+02:00'
      },
      {
        parameter_x: '1918.7047619',
        device_id: 'AB22438D',
        time_stamp: '2019-04-17 21:01:45.673949957+02:00'
      }
    ]

which will be easier to filter

This helped me a lot as well and I actually ended up using this as well because I needed to change the output structure of my data. Thanks!

If your data object is always structured same way (3 elements each on same place), then you can do something like this:

const data = [
    {
        "label": "time_stamp",
        "data": [
            "2019-04-17 21:01:25.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:30.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:35.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:40.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:45.673949957+02:00"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "7F34B296",
        "data": [
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "AB22438D",
            "AB22438D"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "parameter_x",
        "data": [
            "929.1965116",
            "927.5152582",
            "928.7476077",
            "1919.2691327",
            "1918.7047619"
        ]
    }
]

const mainData = data[1];
const deviceId = mainData.label;
const indexes = mainData.data.filter((item) => item === deviceId).map((e, idx, array) => idx);
const result = data.map((value) => {
    const filteredData = value.data.filter((item, idx) => {
        return indexes.some((e => idx === e));
    })

    return {
        ...value,
        data: filteredData
    }
});

console.log(result)

Basically just find indexes of device_id in second element of array, and then extract values on those indexes of device_id, time_stamp and parameter_x data properties.

Although this might work, I'd suggest restructuring your data because this is quite complicated structure.

This result delivers what I was looking for, thanks! Small edit: The deviceId in my case was not found in the label, as this was simply named device_id. But by setting the deviceId variable equal to e.g. 7F34B296 I get the filtered results. This lets me split up the data.

We can use forEach method with splice to get desired output.

let arr = [
    {
        "label": "time_stamp",
        "data": [
            "2019-04-17 21:01:25.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:30.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:35.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:40.673949957+02:00",
            "2019-04-17 21:01:45.673949957+02:00"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "device_id",
        "data": [
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "7F34B296",
            "AB22438D",
            "AB22438D"
        ]
    },
    {
        "label": "parameter_x",
        "data": [
            "929.1965116",
            "927.5152582",
            "928.7476077",
            "1919.2691327",
            "1918.7047619"
        ]
    }
]
arr.forEach( (val, index) => val.data.splice(3) ) 
console.log(arr)
