JavaScript arrays don't have a groupBy method yet. See MDN's documentation. It's in nightly Firefox builds at the moment and that's all. The proposal is Stage 3 so it'll be landing in JavaScript engines before too long, but in the meantime you have to polyfill it. There are various ways to polyfill it, for instance via core-js. (Babel used to do polyfilling, but now recommends using core-js directly.)
