I'm struggling to organize a list with dividers between categories to group items accordingly. Each divider should be labeled with the month name, and the items under it should correspond to that specific month.
My Goal:
- August
- item 1
- item 2
- September
- item 3
- item 4
- item 5
Each list item includes a date timestamp from which I extract the month information.
My Attempts:
export class PostItemService {
groupedItems = [];
// second item is the date timestamp
items: item[] = [
new item('cool title', 1503469292, 'some cool text'),
new item('second title', 1503469292, 'some cool text'),
new item('third title', 1503469292, 'some cool text'),
];
splitOnMonth() {
const items = this.items;
const groupedItem = [];
// extract the month number
function convertTimeStamp(timestamp) {
const date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
const monthNumber = date.getMonth() + 1;
return monthNumber;
}
items.forEach((value, index) => {
const myMonth = convertTimeStamp(value.date);
// Stuck at this point, unsure how to proceed
});
} // splitOnMonth()
}
I've experimented with various approaches, but I haven't found a solution yet. My main roadblock is determining the next steps from here.
If anyone has faced and resolved a similar challenge or can offer guidance on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
