What is the best way to transform an array like this:
const arr = [
{ name: 'Bob' },
{ name: 'Ben' }
{ name: 'Cole' }
{ name: 'Mary' }
{ name: 'Travis' }
]
to an object like:
const obj = {
'B': ['Bob', 'Ben'],
'C': ['Cole'],
'M': ['Mary'],
'T': ['Travis']
}
Using only vanilla JS

I created an array where the key is the first letter of the name using the reduce function and restructuring the 'name' from the objects. If the key exists in the array the name is pushed (using spread operator). Else, it creates the key with only one element.
const arr = [
{ name: 'Bob' },
{ name: 'Ben' },
{ name: 'Cole' },
{ name: 'Mary' },
{ name: 'Travis' }
];
const obj = arr.reduce((res, {name})=>{
res[name[0]] = res[name[0]] ? [...res[name[0]],name] : [name];
return res;
}, {});
console.log(obj);
