如果使用地图查找，就有一个有效的解决方案。如果父母总是在他们的孩子之前，你可以合并两个for循环。它支持多个根。它在悬垂的分支上给出一个错误，但可以修改为忽略它们。它不需要第三方库。就我所知，这是最快的解决方法。

function list_to_tree(list) { var map = {}, node, roots = [], i; for (i = 0; i < list.length; i += 1) { map[list[i].id] = i; // initialize the map list[i].children = []; // initialize the children } for (i = 0; i < list.length; i += 1) { node = list[i]; if (node.parentId !== "0") { // if you have dangling branches check that map[node.parentId] exists list[map[node.parentId]].children.push(node); } else { roots.push(node); } } return roots; } var entries = [{ "id": "12", "parentId": "0", "text": "Man", "level": "1", "children": null }, { "id": "6", "parentId": "12", "text": "Boy", "level": "2", "children": null }, { "id": "7", "parentId": "12", "text": "Other", "level": "2", "children": null }, { "id": "9", "parentId": "0", "text": "Woman", "level": "1", "children": null }, { "id": "11", "parentId": "9", "text": "Girl", "level": "2", "children": null } ]; console.log(list_to_tree(entries));

如果你喜欢复杂性理论，这个解决方案是Θ(n log(n))。递归过滤器的解决方案是Θ(n^2)，这对于大型数据集可能是一个问题。

你可以使用这个来自Github或NPM的“treeify”包。

安装:

$ NPM install——save-dev treeify-js

从网上复制 http://jsfiddle.net/stywell/k9x2a3g6/

    function list2tree(data, opt) {
        opt = opt || {};
        var KEY_ID = opt.key_id || 'ID';
        var KEY_PARENT = opt.key_parent || 'FatherID';
        var KEY_CHILD = opt.key_child || 'children';
        var EMPTY_CHILDREN = opt.empty_children;
        var ROOT_ID = opt.root_id || 0;
        var MAP = opt.map || {};
        function getNode(id) {
            var node = []
            for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                if (data[i][KEY_PARENT] == id) {
                    for (var k in MAP) {
                        data[i][k] = data[i][MAP[k]];
                    }
                    if (getNode(data[i][KEY_ID]) !== undefined) {
                        data[i][KEY_CHILD] = getNode(data[i][KEY_ID]);
                    } else {
                        if (EMPTY_CHILDREN === null) {
                            data[i][KEY_CHILD] = null;
                        } else if (JSON.stringify(EMPTY_CHILDREN) === '[]') {
                            data[i][KEY_CHILD] = [];
                        }
                    }
                    node.push(data[i]);
                }
            }
            if (node.length == 0) {
                return;
            } else {
                return node;
            }
        }
        return getNode(ROOT_ID)
    }

    var opt = {
        "key_id": "ID",              //节点的ID
        "key_parent": "FatherID",    //节点的父级ID
        "key_child": "children",     //子节点的名称
        "empty_children": [],        //子节点为空时,填充的值  //这个参数为空时,没有子元素的元素不带key_child属性;还可以为null或者[],同理
        "root_id": 0,                //根节点的父级ID
        "map": {                     //在节点内映射一些值  //对象的键是节点的新属性; 对象的值是节点的老属性,会赋值给新属性
            "value": "ID",
            "label": "TypeName",
        }
    };

你可以用两行代码来解决这个问题:

_(flatArray).forEach(f=>
           {f.nodes=_(flatArray).filter(g=>g.parentId==f.id).value();});

var resultArray=_(flatArray).filter(f=>f.parentId==null).value();

在线测试(查看浏览器控制台以获得创建的树)

要求:

1-安装lodash 4(一个Javascript库，用于操作对象和集合，使用性能方法=>，就像c#中的Linq)

2-如下所示的flatArray:

    var flatArray=
    [{
      id:1,parentId:null,text:"parent1",nodes:[]
    }
   ,{
      id:2,parentId:null,text:"parent2",nodes:[]
    }
    ,
    {
      id:3,parentId:1,text:"childId3Parent1",nodes:[]
    }
    ,
    {
      id:4,parentId:1,text:"childId4Parent1",nodes:[]
    }
    ,
    {
      id:5,parentId:2,text:"childId5Parent2",nodes:[]
    }
    ,
    {
      id:6,parentId:2,text:"childId6Parent2",nodes:[]
    }
    ,
    {
      id:7,parentId:3,text:"childId7Parent3",nodes:[]
    }
    ,
    {
      id:8,parentId:5,text:"childId8Parent5",nodes:[]
    }];

祝你好运

我已经编写了一个测试脚本来评估用户shekhardtu(见答案)和FurkanO(见答案)提出的两种最通用的解决方案的性能(意味着输入不需要事先排序，代码不依赖于第三方库)。

http://playcode.io/316025?tabs=console&script.js&output

FurkanO的解决方案似乎是最快的。

/* ** performance test for https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18017869/build-tree-array-from-flat-array-in-javascript */ // Data Set (e.g. nested comments) var comments = [{ id: 1, parent_id: null }, { id: 2, parent_id: 1 }, { id: 3, parent_id: 4 }, { id: 4, parent_id: null }, { id: 5, parent_id: 4 }]; // add some random entries let maxParentId = 10000; for (let i=6; i<=maxParentId; i++) { let randVal = Math.floor((Math.random() * maxParentId) + 1); comments.push({ id: i, parent_id: (randVal % 200 === 0 ? null : randVal) }); } // solution from user "shekhardtu" (https://stackoverflow.com/a/55241491/5135171) const nest = (items, id = null, link = 'parent_id') => items .filter(item => item[link] === id) .map(item => ({ ...item, children: nest(items, item.id) })); ; // solution from user "FurkanO" (https://stackoverflow.com/a/40732240/5135171) const createDataTree = dataset => { let hashTable = Object.create(null) dataset.forEach( aData => hashTable[aData.id] = { ...aData, children : [] } ) let dataTree = [] dataset.forEach( aData => { if( aData.parent_id ) hashTable[aData.parent_id].children.push(hashTable[aData.id]) else dataTree.push(hashTable[aData.id]) } ) return dataTree }; /* ** lets evaluate the timing for both methods */ let t0 = performance.now(); let createDataTreeResult = createDataTree(comments); let t1 = performance.now(); console.log("Call to createDataTree took " + Math.floor(t1 - t0) + " milliseconds."); t0 = performance.now(); let nestResult = nest(comments); t1 = performance.now(); console.log("Call to nest took " + Math.floor(t1 - t0) + " milliseconds."); //console.log(nestResult); //console.log(createDataTreeResult); // bad, but simple way of comparing object equality console.log(JSON.stringify(nestResult)===JSON.stringify(createDataTreeResult));

也可以使用lodashjs(v4.x)

function buildTree(arr){
  var a=_.keyBy(arr, 'id')
  return _
   .chain(arr)
   .groupBy('parentId')
   .forEach(function(v,k){ 
     k!='0' && (a[k].children=(a[k].children||[]).concat(v));
   })
   .result('0')
   .value();
}
