{{alias}}( obj, [options,] indicator )
Group values according to an indicator function.
When invoked, the indicator function is provided two arguments:
- `value`: object value
- `key`: object key
The value returned by an indicator function should be a value which can be
serialized as an object key.
If provided an empty object, the function returns an empty object.
The function iterates over an object's own properties.
Key iteration order is *not* guaranteed, and, thus, result order is *not*
guaranteed.
Parameters
----------
obj: Object|Array|TypedArray
Input object to group.
options: Object (optional)
Options.
options.thisArg: any (optional)
Execution context.
options.returns: string (optional)
If `values`, values are returned; if `keys`, keys are returned; if `*`,
both keys and values are returned. Default: 'values'.
indicator: Function
Indicator function indicating which group a value in the input object
belongs to.
Returns
-------
out: Object
Group results.
Examples
--------
> function indicator( v ) {
... if ( v[ 0 ] === 'b' ) {
... return 'b';
... }
... return 'other';
... };
> var obj = { 'a': 'beep', 'b': 'boop', 'c': 'foo', 'd': 'bar' };
> var out = {{alias}}( obj, indicator )
{ 'b': [ 'beep', 'boop', 'bar' ], 'other': [ 'foo' ] }
// Output group results as keys:
> var opts = { 'returns': 'keys' };
> out = {{alias}}( obj, opts, indicator )
{ 'b': [ 'a', 'b', 'd' ], 'other': [ 'c' ] }
// Output group results as key-value pairs:
> opts = { 'returns': '*' };
> out = {{alias}}( obj, opts, indicator )
{ 'b': [['a','beep'], ['b','boop'], ['d','bar']], 'other': [['c','foo' ]] }
