javascript - How can you merge objects in array of objects?

Question

I'm looking for the best solution to merge all objects in one array

const arrayOfObjects = [
 {name: 'Fred', surname: 'Shultz'}, {name: 'Anne', surname: 'Example'}
];

I want to achieve: {name: ['Fred', 'Anne'], surname: ['Example', 'Shultz']}

What's the best option for that (es6)? Maybe I can do something like that using lodash? Which helpers should I use?

Answer 1

You could reduce the array by iterating the entries and collecting the values, depending of the keys.

const
    array = [{ name: 'Fred', surname: 'Shultz' }, { name: 'Anne', surname: 'Example' }],
    result = array.reduce((r, o) => {
        Object.entries(o).forEach(([k, v]) => (r[k] = r[k] || []).push(v));
        return r;
    }, Object.create(null));

console.log(result);
