json-keys-sort

Sorting a json object based on keys either ascending or descending & even recursively

Latest Changes (v2.1.0)

• sortAsync : this is a new function which returns a promise

Installation

npm install json-keys-sort or yarn add json-keys-sort

Example -

Note : focus on keys not values

const json = require('json-keys-sort');    
var data = {    
               "zoho": 4,    
               "drake": 2,    
               "yogo": {    
                   "jout": "3.2",    
                   "aou": {    
                       "yoyo": "3.1.3",    
                       "aalo": "3.1.1",    
                       "go": "3.1.2"    
                   }    
               },    
               "abc": 1    
           }    

// sync (return sorted data)
json.sort(data, true)    

// async (return promise of sorted data)
json.sortAsync(data, true)

Output will be -

{    
	"abc": 1,    
	"drake": 2,    
	"yogo": {                       
		"aou": {    
			"aalo": "3.1.1",    
			"go": "3.1.2",    
			"yoyo": "3.1.3"                                                 
		},    
		"jout": "3.2"    
	},    
	"zoho": 4    
}  

• function parameters (for both sort & sortAsync)

  • data: the json object to sort
  • sort:
    • true (default) : ascending sort , since it is default you can only call json.sort(data) or json.sortAsync(data)
    • false : descending sort

• The function work recursively and sort all the inner json objects too.
