Tests:

Date Object without lodash
const articles = ["10-2-2021", "9-3-2022", "2-4-2021"]; const byYear = {}; articles.forEach(el => { const year = new Date(el).getFullYear(); const objYear = byYear[year]; byYear[year] = Array.isArray(objYear) ? [...objYear, el] : [el]; });
String Parse with lodash
const articles = ["10-2-2021", "9-3-2022", "2-4-2021"]; const articleYear = (posted_date) => posted_date.split("-").pop(); const articlesByYear = _.groupBy(articles, articleYear);
