GroupByDate:

@Pipe({name: 'groupByDate'})
export class GroupByPipeProvider implements PipeTransform {
    transform(collection: Array<any>, property: string = 'date'): Array<any> {
        if(!collection) {
            return null;
        }
        const gc = collection.reduce((previous, current)=> {
            if(!previous[current[property]]) {
                previous[current[property]] = [];
            }
                current.events.forEach(x => previous[current[property]].push(x));
            return previous;
        }, {});
        return Object.keys(gc).map(date => ({ date: date, events: gc[date] }));
        }  
}

You have to create a custom Pipe for this just like I have done here:

@Pipe({name: 'groupByDate'})
export class GroupByPipe implements PipeTransform {
transform(collection: Array<any>, property: string = 'date'): Array<any> {
    if(!collection) {
        return null;
    }
    const gc = collection.reduce((previous, current)=> {
        if(!previous[current[property]]) {
            previous[current[property]] = [];
        }
            current.events.forEach(x => previous[current[property]].push(x));
        return previous;
    }, {});
    return Object.keys(gc).map(date => ({ date: date, events: gc[date] }));
    }  
}

HTML:

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let group of events | groupByDate">{{group.date}}
        <ul>
            <li *ngFor="let event of group.events">
            {{event.id}} {{event.title}}
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Hope it helps.
