Returns a copy of an object, sorted deeply by its keys, without mangling any arrays inside of it
The sortobject npm package is a utility for sorting the keys of an object. It can be used to ensure consistent key ordering, which can be useful for tasks such as comparing objects, generating consistent JSON output, and more.
Sort object keys alphabetically
This feature sorts the keys of an object in alphabetical order. The code sample demonstrates how to use the sortobject package to sort the keys of an object.
const sortobject = require('sortobject');
const obj = { b: 2, a: 1, c: 3 };
const sortedObj = sortobject(obj);
console.log(sortedObj); // { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }Sort nested object keys
This feature sorts the keys of nested objects as well. The code sample shows how nested objects are sorted by their keys.
const sortobject = require('sortobject');
const obj = { b: { d: 4, c: 3 }, a: 1 };
const sortedObj = sortobject(obj);
console.log(sortedObj); // { a: 1, b: { c: 3, d: 4 } }The sort-keys package sorts the keys of an object in a similar manner to sortobject. It offers additional options such as sorting in reverse order and custom sorting functions. Compared to sortobject, sort-keys provides more flexibility in how the keys are sorted.
The deep-sort-object package sorts the keys of an object deeply, including nested objects. It is similar to sortobject in that it handles nested objects, but it also provides more control over the sorting process, such as custom sorting functions.
