title: Array Grouping

<emu-clause id="sec-scope">
<h1>Scope</h1>
<p>
This is the spec text of the <a href="https://github.com/tc39/proposal-array-grouping/">Array Grouping proposal</a> in ECMAScript.
</p>
</emu-clause>
<emu-clause id="sec-properties-of-the-array-prototype-object">
<h1>Properties of the Array Prototype Object (<a href="https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-properties-of-the-array-prototype-object">22.1.3</a>)</h1>
<ins class="block">
<emu-clause id="sec-array.prototype.groupby">
<h1>Array.prototype.groupBy ( _callbackfn_ [ , _thisArg_ ] )</h1>
<emu-note>
<p>_callbackfn_ should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to a property. `groupBy` calls _callbackfn_ once for each element in the array, in ascending order, and constructs a new object of arrays, where the property key is the return value and array is filled with the items that return that property key.</p>
<p>If a _thisArg_ parameter is provided, it will be used as the *this* value for each invocation of _callbackfn_. If it is not provided, *undefined* is used instead.</p>
<p>_callbackfn_ is called with three arguments: the value of the element, the index of the element, and the object being traversed.</p>
<p>`groupBy` does not directly mutate the object on which it is called but the object may be mutated by the calls to _callbackfn_.</p>
<p>The range of elements processed by `groupBy` is set before the first call to _callbackfn_. Elements which are appended to the array after the call to `groupBy` begins will not be visited by _callbackfn_. If existing elements of the array are changed their value as passed to _callbackfn_ will be the value at the time `groupBy` visits them; elements that are deleted after the call to `groupBy` begins and before being visited are not visited.</p>
<p>The return value of `groupBy` is an object that does not inherit from _Object.prototype_.</p>
</emu-note>
<p>When the `groupBy` method is called with one or two arguments, the following steps are taken:</p>
<emu-alg>
1. Let _O_ be ? ToObject(*this* value).
1. Let _len_ be ? LengthOfArrayLike(_O_).
1. If IsCallable(_callbackfn_) is *false*, throw a *TypeError* exception.
1. Let _k_ be 0.
1. Let _obj_ be ! OrdinaryObjectCreate(null).
1. Assert: _obj_ is an extensible ordinary object with no own properties.
1. Repeat, while _k_ < _len_
1. Let _Pk_ be ! ToString(_k_).
1. Let _kValue_ be ? Get(_O_, _Pk_).
1. Let _propertyKey_ be ? ToPropertyKey(? Call(_callbackfn_, _thisArg_, « _kValue_, _k_, _O_ »)).
1. Let _seen_ be ? HasOwnProperty(_obj_, _propertyKey_).
1. If _seen_ is *true*, then
1. Let _arr_ be ! Get(_obj_, _propertyKey_).
1. Else
1. Let _arr_ be ? ArraySpeciesCreate(O, 0).
1. Perform ! CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(_obj_, _propertyKey_, _arr_).
1. Perform ? Call(%Array.prototype.push%, _arr_, _kValue_).
1. Set _k_ to _k_ + 1.
1. Return _obj_.
</emu-alg>
<emu-note>
<p>The `groupBy` function is intentionally generic; it does not require that its *this* value be an Array object. Therefore it can be transferred to other kinds of objects for use as a method.</p>
