group_by

group_by(key_names=[], key=lambda x: x, result_func=lambda x: x)

Groups an enumerable on given key selector and transforms the result. This is a non-executing function.

Parameters

key_names : list of key names key : key selector as a lambda function result_func : transformation function as a lambda function

Returns

An Enumerable of Grouping instances.

Usage

Enumerable([1,2,3]).group_by(key_names=['id'], key=lambda x: x).to_list()
# [{'enumerable': '[1]', 'key': "{'id': 1}"}, {'enumerable': '[2]', 'key': "{'id': 2}"}, {'enumerable': '[3]', 'key': "{'id': 3}"}]

Thus the key names for each grouping object can be referenced through the key property. Using the above example:

Enumerable([1,2,3]).group_by(key_names=['id'], key=lambda x: x).select(lambda g: { 'key': g.key.id, 'count': g.count() }).to_list()
# [{'count': 1, 'key': 1}, {'count': 1, 'key': 2}, {'count': 1, 'key': 3}]
