partition

TS JS Deno

Groups the elements into two arrays, depending on the provided function's truthiness for each element.

Use Array.prototype.reduce() to create an array of two arrays. Use Array.prototype.push() to add elements for which fn returns true to the first array and elements for which fn returns false to the second one.

typescript
const partition = (arr: any[], fn: Predicate) =>
arr.reduce(
(acc, val, i, arr) => {
acc[fn(val, i, arr) ? 0 : 1].push(val);
return acc;
},
[[], []]
);
typescript
const users = [
{ user: "barney", age: 36, active: false },
{ user: "fred", age: 40, active: true },
];
partition(users, (o) => o.active); // [[{ 'user': 'fred', 'age': 40, 'active': true }],[{ 'user': 'barney', 'age': 36, 'active': false }]]
