Count the number of occurrences of a character in a string in Javascript

Question

I need to count the number of occurrences of a character in a string.

For example, suppose my string contains:

var mainStr = \"str1,str2,str3,str4\";         


        

Answer 1

My solution with ramda js:

const testString = 'somestringtotest'

const countLetters = R.compose(
  R.map(R.length),
  R.groupBy(R.identity),
  R.split('')
)

countLetters(testString)
