bcn-compare
Provides comparator to fully sort any javascript data regardless of type
compare(a, b) -> -1 | 0 | 1
rules are:
undefined < null null < number number < string string < array array < object
for arrays of unequal length, out of bounds values are treated as undefined
objects are sorted by the following rules where: - keys whose value is undefined are treated as not existing - objects with fewer keys < objects with more keys - keys are checked in sorted order where first keys that are not identical determine sort order
Installation
npm install bcn-compare
Usage
var compare = require("bcn-compare").compare;
var a = ["test", {}, ["an", "array"], 4, 3, 2, {"hello": 3}];
a.sort(compare);
