Introduction

In this lab, we will explore the transform function in JavaScript which allows us to apply a specified function against an accumulator and each key in an object. By using Object.keys() and Array.prototype.reduce(), we can easily iterate over each key in an object and perform the desired transformation. This lab will provide hands-on experience with this useful function and demonstrate its practical applications in JavaScript programming.

Object Transformation

To start practicing coding, open the Terminal/SSH and type node.

The transform function applies a specified function against an accumulator and each key in the object, from left to right. Here's how to use it:

  • Use Object.keys() to iterate over each key in the object.
  • Use Array.prototype.reduce() to apply the specified function against the given accumulator.
const transform = (obj, fn, acc) =>
  Object.keys(obj).reduce((a, k) => fn(a, obj[k], k, obj), acc);

Here's an example:

transform(
  { a: 1, b: 2, c: 1 },
  (r, v, k) => {
    (r[v] || (r[v] = [])).push(k);
    return r;
  },
  {}
); // { '1': ['a', 'c'], '2': ['b'] }
