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

将节点数组转换为树

ES6函数转换数组节点(由父ID相关)到树结构:

/**
 * Convert nodes list related by parent ID - to tree.
 * @syntax getTree(nodesArray [, rootID [, propertyName]])
 *
 * @param {Array} arr   Array of nodes
 * @param {integer} id  Defaults to 0
 * @param {string} p    Property name. Defaults to "parent_id"
 * @returns {Object}    Nodes tree
 */

const getTree = (arr, p = "parent_id") => arr.reduce((o, n) => {

  if (!o[n.id]) o[n.id] = {};
  if (!o[n[p]]) o[n[p]] = {};
  if (!o[n[p]].nodes) o[n[p]].nodes= [];
  if (o[n.id].nodes) n.nodes= o[n.id].nodes;

  o[n[p]].nodes.push(n);
  o[n.id] = n;

  return o;
}, {});

从节点树生成HTML列表

有了我们的树，这里有一个递归函数来构建UL > LI元素:

/**
 * Convert Tree structure to UL>LI and append to Element
 * @syntax getTree(treeArray [, TargetElement [, onLICreatedCallback ]])
 *
 * @param {Array} tree Tree array of nodes
 * @param {Element} el HTMLElement to insert into
 * @param {function} cb Callback function called on every LI creation
 */

const treeToHTML = (tree, el, cb) => el.append(tree.reduce((ul, n) => {
  const li = document.createElement('li');

  if (cb) cb.call(li, n);
  if (n.nodes?.length) treeToHTML(n.nodes, li, cb);

  ul.append(li);
  return ul;
}, document.createElement('ul')));

演示时间

下面是一个使用上述两个函数的线性节点数组的例子:

const getTree = (arr, p = "parent_id") => arr.reduce((o, n) => { if (!o[n.id]) o[n.id] = {}; if (!o[n[p]]) o[n[p]] = {}; if (!o[n[p]].nodes) o[n[p]].nodes = []; if (o[n.id].nodes) n.nodes = o[n.id].nodes; o[n[p]].nodes.push(n); o[n.id] = n; return o; }, {}); const treeToHTML = (tree, el, cb) => el.append(tree.reduce((ul, n) => { const li = document.createElement('li'); if (cb) cb.call(li, n); if (n.nodes?.length) treeToHTML(n.nodes, li, cb); ul.append(li); return ul; }, document.createElement('ul'))); // DEMO TIME: const nodesList = [ {id: 10, parent_id: 4, text: "Item 10"}, // PS: Order does not matters {id: 1, parent_id: 0, text: "Item 1"}, {id: 4, parent_id: 0, text: "Item 4"}, {id: 3, parent_id: 5, text: "Item 3"}, {id: 5, parent_id: 4, text: "Item 5"}, {id: 2, parent_id: 1, text: "Item 2"}, ]; const myTree = getTree(nodesList)[0].nodes; // Get nodes of Root (0) treeToHTML(myTree, document.querySelector("#tree"), function(node) { this.textContent = `(${node.parent_id} ${node.id}) ${node.text}`; this._node = node; this.addEventListener('click', clickHandler); }); function clickHandler(ev) { if (ev.target !== this) return; console.clear(); console.log(this._node.id); }; <div id="tree"></div>

正如@Sander提到的，@Halcyon的答案假设一个预先排序的数组，下面的不是。(然而，它假设你已经加载了underscore.js -尽管它可以用香草javascript编写):

Code

// Example usage var arr = [ {'id':1 ,'parentid' : 0}, {'id':2 ,'parentid' : 1}, {'id':3 ,'parentid' : 1}, {'id':4 ,'parentid' : 2}, {'id':5 ,'parentid' : 0}, {'id':6 ,'parentid' : 0}, {'id':7 ,'parentid' : 4} ]; unflatten = function( array, parent, tree ){ tree = typeof tree !== 'undefined' ? tree : []; parent = typeof parent !== 'undefined' ? parent : { id: 0 }; var children = _.filter( array, function(child){ return child.parentid == parent.id; }); if( !_.isEmpty( children ) ){ if( parent.id == 0 ){ tree = children; }else{ parent['children'] = children } _.each( children, function( child ){ unflatten( array, child ) } ); } return tree; } tree = unflatten( arr ); document.body.innerHTML = "<pre>" + (JSON.stringify(tree, null, " ")) <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.9.1/underscore-min.js"></script>

需求

它假设属性'id'和'parentid'分别表示id和父id。必须有父ID为0的元素，否则将返回一个空数组。孤儿元素及其后代“丢失”

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)。

FurkanO的解决方案似乎是最快的。
