sort-object

What is sort-object?

The sort-object npm package is used to sort the keys of an object in JavaScript. It provides a simple and efficient way to order the properties of an object based on their keys, which can be useful for various purposes such as ensuring consistent key order for JSON serialization, improving readability, or preparing data for comparison.

What are sort-object's main functionalities?

Sort object keys alphabetically

This feature sorts the keys of an object in alphabetical order. The code sample demonstrates how to use the sort-object package to sort the keys of an object alphabetically.

const sortObject = require('sort-object');
const obj = { b: 2, a: 1, c: 3 };
const sortedObj = sortObject(obj);
console.log(sortedObj); // { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }

Sort object keys with a custom comparator

This feature allows sorting the keys of an object using a custom comparator function. The code sample demonstrates how to use a custom comparator to sort the keys in reverse alphabetical order.

const sortObject = require('sort-object');
const obj = { b: 2, a: 1, c: 3 };
const sortedObj = sortObject(obj, { sort: (a, b) => b.localeCompare(a) });
console.log(sortedObj); // { c: 3, b: 2, a: 1 }

Other packages similar to sort-object

sort-keys

The sort-keys package sorts the keys of an object in a similar way to sort-object. It provides options for sorting keys alphabetically or using a custom comparator. Compared to sort-object, sort-keys offers additional features such as deep sorting of nested objects.

Usage

var sortObj = require('sort-object');

Sort the keys on an object

console.log(sortObj({a: 1, c: 2, b: 3}));
//=> {a: 1, b: 3, c: 2}

Create a new object with only the given keys.

var o = {a: 1, c: 2, e: 5, d: 4, b: 3};
console.log(sortObj(o, {keys: ['a', 'b']}));

//=> {a: 1, b: 3}

Sort the keys using a custom function.

var o = {a: 1, c: 2, e: 5, d: 4, b: 3};
var obj = sortObj(o, {fn: function (a, b) {
  return a < b ? -1 : 1;
}});
console.log(obj);
//=> {a: 1, b: 3, c: 2, d: 4, e: 5}
