Converting an array of objects to Map Immutable.js

Question

I have an array of objects which I wish to convert into a plain Immutable map of:

name: {
  urlname
  id
}

Currently I am doing the following data being the array of objects:

data = data.map((data) => ({
  name: data.name,
  urlName: data.urlName,
  id: data.id
}))

What I am trying to transform is the following (data):

[{"id":"10","name":"Dave","urlName":"foo-bar","order":"-100","classId":"12","className":"David","classUrlName":"david-foo-bar"}]

As said above, I would like the name as the key, and both the urlName and the id as values to the key if possible. I would like to loop around data until everything is reduced to that structure if possible.

Since you want to transform the data from shape to shape, you can use the reduce function to do this job.

the reduce function will transform the data into a Map where each key is a name, and the values are the id and urlName

const sample = [{"id":"10","name":"Dave","urlName":"foo-bar","order":"-100","classId":"12","className":"David","classUrlName":"david-foo-bar"}];

const result = sample.reduce((acc, item) => {
  return acc.set(item.name, {
     id: item.id,
     urlName: item.urlName,
   })
}, new Immutable.Map())

console.log("Dave's Id", result.getIn(["Dave", "id"]));
console.log("Date's urlName", result.getIn(["Dave", "urlName"]));

Check the documentation here for ImmutableJS Reduce and Native Javascript Array.reduce. Both are identical in their API.
