Split an array of objects in to two, based on a value within the object

by

I have been trying (and struggling) to figure out how I am able to split an array of objects, based on a key value pair

Long story short, I have a list of stations that a train is calling at, and need to separate the stations previous calling points, and the stations future calling points.

The data i’m working with looks like this:

[{station_code: "SOC", station_name: "Southend Central" },
{station_code: "WCF", station_name: "Westcliff On Sea" },
{station_code: "CHW", station_name: "Chalkwell" },
{station_code: "LES", station_name: "Leigh On Sea" },
{station_code: "BEF", station_name: "Benfleet" },
{station_code: "PSE", station_name: "Pitsea" },
{station_code: "BSO", station_name: "Basildon" }]

I’d like to have two new arrays that are split at, for example Leigh On Sea.. like this:

previous stops:

[{station_code: "SOC", station_name: "Southend Central" },
{station_code: "WCF", station_name: "Westcliff On Sea" },
{station_code: "CHW", station_name: "Chalkwell" }]

subsequent stops:

[{station_code: "BEF", station_name: "Benfleet" },
{station_code: "PSE", station_name: "Pitsea" },
{station_code: "BSO", station_name: "Basildon" }]

it would also help to potentially return the current station (leigh on sea) as well as a separate array with the object in it if possible…

I have come across this, however i cant think how i can adjust this to look in to the object to find the station name:

const getAllAfter = (current) => {
    var myArr = new Array("alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta");
    var i = myArr.indexOf(current);
    return i > -1 ? myArr.slice(0, i) : [];
};

Thanks in advance! 🙂
