group array of objects by id

Question

I am trying to loop through a array ob objects and group the items of the array into new arrays that have matching id:

API example:

    api_array [
          


        

Answer 1

api_array [
       {id: 1, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 1, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 1, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 2, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 2, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 2, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 3, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 3, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 3, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 4, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 4, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 4, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
];

let result = [];
for (let i = 0; i < numberOfGroupsIWantToMake; i++) {
    let newGroupArray = api_array.filter(obj => obj.id === i);
    result.push(newGroupArray);
}

return result;

Note: this is A solution, but it's not as performant as we're going over the entire array n number of times.
