deepsorter v1.0.3

deepSorter 🎡

Originally deepSorter is made to make my life easier dealing with payment signature generation work in my company.

deepSorter is designed to sort any object or array alphabetically (or in its reverse order) regardless of numbers of layers deep.

Feel free to improve this library via a handsome PR 🤝

Installation

npm install deepsorter

or

yarn add deepsorter

Usage and example

Example object with 4 layers deep

import deepSorter from "deepsorter"

// example data
const data = {
  "c": ["APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA"],
  "a": {
    "dog": {
      "color": "gold",
      "breed": "a dog",
      "happiness": ["SAD", "HAPPY", "EXCITED"]
    },
    "numbers": [8.5, "WORLD", 1, 50, "HELLO", 2],
    "cat": {
      "happiness": ["HAPPY", "SAD", "EXCITED"],
      "breed": "a cat",
      "color": "orange",
    },
    "deepArray": [
      {
        "foo": {
          "name": "Rex",
          "age": 26,
          "interests": ["coding", "problem solving", "etc etc"]
        },
        "bar": {
          "name": "Low",
          "age": 100,
          "interests": ["self driving cars", "artificial intelligence"]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Sort Alphabatically

deepSorter(data)
{
  "a": {
    "cat": {
      "breed": "a cat",
      "color": "orange",
      "happiness": ["EXCITED", "HAPPY", "SAD"]
    },
    "deepArray": [
      {
        "bar": {
          "age": 100,
          "interests": ["artificial intelligence", "self driving cars"],
          "name": "Low",
        },
        "foo": {
          "age": 26,
          "interests": ["coding", "etc etc", "problem solving"],
          "name": "Rex",
        }
      }
    ],
    "dog": {
      "breed": "a dog",
      "color": "gold",
      "happiness": ["EXCITED", "HAPPY", "SAD"]
    },
    "numbers": [1, 2, 8.5, 50, "HELLO", "WORLD"]
  },
  "c": ["APPLE", "BANANA", "ORANGE"]
}

Sort in reverse order

deepSorter(data, reverse=true)
{
  "c": ["ORANGE", "BANANA", "APPLE"],
  "a": {
    "numbers": ["WORLD", "HELLO", 50, 8.5, 2, 1],
    "dog": {
      "happiness": ["SAD", "HAPPY", "EXCITED"],
      "color": "gold",
      "breed": "a dog"
    },
    "deepArray": [
      {
        "foo": {
          "name": "Rex",
          "interests": ["problem solving", "etc etc", "coding"],
          "age": 26,
        },
        "bar": {
          "name": "Low",
          "interests": ["self driving cars", "artificial intelligence"],
          "age": 100,
        }
      }
    ],
  "cat": {
    "happiness": ["SAD", "HAPPY", "EXCITED"],
    "color": "orange",
    "breed": "a cat"
  }
}
