Introducing Socket Fix for Safe, Automated Dependency Upgrades
Automatically fix and test dependency updates with socket fix—a new CLI tool that turns CVE alerts into safe, automated upgrades.
The sort-keys npm package is used to sort the keys of an object, either in ascending or descending order, based on a custom comparator function if provided. This can be particularly useful for organizing JSON objects for readability or for ensuring that objects are in a consistent order when stringifying them, which can be important for hashing and caching mechanisms.
Sort keys in ascending order
Sorts the keys of an object in ascending order. This is the default behavior without providing any additional options.
const sortKeys = require('sort-keys');
const sorted = sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0});
console.log(sorted); // Output: { a: 0, b: 0, c: 0 }
Sort keys using a custom comparator
Sorts the keys of an object using a custom comparator function. In this example, the keys are sorted in descending order.
const sortKeys = require('sort-keys');
const sorted = sortKeys({a: 0, b: 1, c: 2}, {
compare: (a, b) => b.localeCompare(a)
});
console.log(sorted); // Output: { c: 2, b: 1, a: 0 }
Deep sorting of nested objects
Sorts the keys of an object and all nested objects. This is useful for deep sorting complex objects.
const sortKeys = require('sort-keys');
const obj = {
c: {c2: 0, c1: 0},
a: {a2: 0, a1: 0},
b: 0
};
const sorted = sortKeys(obj, {deep: true});
console.log(sorted); // Output: { a: { a1: 0, a2: 0 }, b: 0, c: { c1: 0, c2: 0 } }
Provides a function to sort arrays of objects based on the values at specified keys. While sort-keys sorts the keys of an object, lodash.sortby sorts the elements of an array based on one or more properties.
Similar to sort-keys with deep sorting capabilities, but deep-sort-object is specifically designed to handle deep sorting of objects without the need for additional configuration.
Sort the keys of an object
Useful to get a deterministically ordered object, as the order of keys can vary between engines.
npm install sort-keys
import sortKeys from 'sort-keys';
sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0});
//=> {a: 0, b: 0, c: 0}
sortKeys({b: {b: 0, a: 0}, a: 0}, {deep: true});
//=> {a: 0, b: {a: 0, b: 0}}
sortKeys({b: [{b: 0, a: 0}], a: 0}, {deep: true});
//=> {a: 0, b: [{a: 0, b: 0}]}
sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0}, {
compare: (a, b) => -a.localeCompare(b)
});
//=> {c: 0, b: 0, a: 0}
sortKeys([{b: 0, a:2}], {deep: true});
//=> [{a: 2, b: 0}]
Returns a new object with sorted keys.
