intersectionBy

Returns the intersection of two arrays based on a mapping function.

This function takes two arrays and a mapping function. It returns a new array containing the elements from the first array that, when mapped using the provided function, have matching mapped elements in the second array. It effectively filters out any elements from the first array that do not have corresponding mapped values in the second array.

Signature

typescript
function intersectionBy<T, U>(firstArr: T[], secondArr: T[], mapper: (item: T) => U): T[];

Parameters

  • firstArr (T[]): The first array to compare.
  • secondArr (T[]): The second array to compare.
  • mapper ((item: T) => U): A function to map the elements of both arrays for comparison.

Returns

(T[]) A new array containing the elements from the first array that have corresponding mapped values in the second array.

Examples

typescript
const array1 = [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }];
const array2 = [{ id: 2 }, { id: 4 }];
const mapper = item => item.id;
const result = intersectionBy(array1, array2, mapper);
// result will be [{ id: 2 }] since only this element has a matching id in both arrays.
