Flat to Nested conversion (advanced groupBy) challenge

Hi all,

I have spent fews days trying to achieve this, but in vain, opening the challenge to everyone.

I have a denormalised result from an elastic search query, and I have to convert and display it in nested format. I’m wondering if this is possible with any wappler formatters (server or client-side)?

Here is a sample,

[
        { departmentId: "dept1", departmentName: "Finance", name: "John", role: "Analyst"},
        { departmentId: "dept1", departmentName: "Finance", name: "Kate", role: "Manager"},
        { departmentId: "dept2", departmentName: "Helpdesk", name: "Jack", role: "Assistant"},
        { departmentId: "dept2", departmentName: "Helpdesk", name: "Tom", role: "Contractor"}
]

I want to convert this into two-dimensional nested array of objects by grouping like this:

department: [
{
      department: "dept1", 
      departmentName: "Finance",
      employee [
      {
            name: "John", 
            role: "Analyst"
      },
      {
            name: "Kate", 
            role: "Manager"
      }] 
},
{
      department: "dept2", 
      departmentName: "Helpdesk",
      employee [
      {
            name: "Jack", 
            role: "Assistant"
      },
      {
            name: "Tom", 
            role: "Contractor"
      }] 
}]

Wappler pros & gurus, please give me your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance!
