Joins in Javascript

Question

I have 2 lists of objects:

people = 
[{id: 1, name: "Tom", carid: 1},
 {id: 2, name: "Bob", carid: 1},
 {id: 3, name: "Sir Benjamin Rogan-Josh IV", carid: 2}];

cars=
[{id: 1, name: "Ford Fiesta", color: "blue"},
 {id: 2, name: "Ferrari", color: "red"},
 {id: 3, name: "Rover 25", color: "Sunset Melting Yellow with hints of yellow"}];

Is there a function (possibly in Angular, JQuery, Underscore, LoDash, or other external library) to do a left join in one line on these? Something like:

peoplewithcars = leftjoin( people, cars, "carid", "id");

I can write my own, but if LoDash has an optimised version I'd like to use that.

Answer 1

This implementation uses the ES6 spread operator. Again, not a library function as asked for.

const leftJoin = (objArr1, objArr2, key1, key2) => objArr1.map(
    anObj1 => ({
        ...objArr2.find(
            anObj2 => anObj1[key1] === anObj2[key2]
        ),
        ...anObj1
    })
);

Linq.js http://linqjs.codeplex.com/ will do joins along with many other things
