# `mapToDictionary()` Run a dictionary map over the items. The callback should return an associative array with a single key/value pair. ```js const collection = collect([ { id: 1, name: 'a' }, { id: 2, name: 'b' }, { id: 3, name: 'c' }, { id: 4, name: 'b' }, ]); const groups = collection.mapToDictionary(item => [item.name, item.id]); groups.all(); // { // a: [1], // b: [2, 4], // c: [3], // } ``` [View source on GitHub](https://github.com/ecrmnn/collect.js/blob/master/src/methods/mapToDictionary.js)
