你可以使用ES6中引入的Map对象。基本上，你不再通过遍历数组来寻找父元素，你只需要从数组中通过父元素的id来获取父元素就像你在数组中通过索引来获取元素一样。

下面是一个简单的例子:

const people = [
  {
    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
  }
];

function toTree(arr) {
  let arrMap = new Map(arr.map(item => [item.id, item]));
  let tree = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    let item = arr[i];

    if (item.parentId !== "0") {
      let parentItem = arrMap.get(item.parentId);

      if (parentItem) {
        let { children } = parentItem;

        if (children) {
          parentItem.children.push(item);
        } else {
          parentItem.children = [item];
        }
      }
    } else {
      tree.push(item);
    }
  }

  return tree;
}

let tree = toTree(people);

console.log(tree);

以防有家长需要。参考id 2，它有多个父元素

const dataSet = [{ "ID": 1, "Phone": "(403) 125-2552", "City": "Coevorden", "Name": "Grady" }, {"ID": 2, "Phone": "(403) 125-2552", "City": "Coevorden", "Name": "Grady" }, { "ID": 3, "parentID": [1,2], "Phone": "(979) 486-1932", "City": "Chełm", "Name": "Scarlet" }]; const expectedDataTree = [ { "ID":1, "Phone":"(403) 125-2552", "City":"Coevorden", "Name":"Grady", "childNodes":[{ "ID":2, "parentID":[1,3], "Phone":"(979) 486-1932", "City":"Chełm", "Name":"Scarlet", "childNodes":[] }] }, { "ID":3, "parentID":[], "Phone":"(403) 125-2552", "City":"Coevorden", "Name":"Grady", "childNodes":[ { "ID":2, "parentID":[1,3], "Phone":"(979) 486-1932", "City":"Chełm", "Name":"Scarlet", "childNodes":[] } ] } ]; const createDataTree = dataset => { const hashTable = Object.create(null); dataset.forEach(aData => hashTable[aData.ID] = {...aData, childNodes: []}); const dataTree = []; dataset.forEach(Datae => { if (Datae.parentID && Datae.parentID.length > 0) { Datae.parentID.forEach( aData => { hashTable[aData].childNodes.push(hashTable[Datae.ID]) }); } else{ dataTree.push(hashTable[Datae.ID]) } }); return dataTree; }; window.alert(JSON.stringify(createDataTree(dataSet)));

我根据@Halcyon的答案写了一个ES6版本

const array = [
  {
    id: '12',
    parentId: '0',
    text: 'one-1'
  },
  {
    id: '6',
    parentId: '12',
    text: 'one-1-6'
  },
  {
    id: '7',
    parentId: '12',
    text: 'one-1-7'
  },

  {
    id: '9',
    parentId: '0',
    text: 'one-2'
  },
  {
    id: '11',
    parentId: '9',
    text: 'one-2-11'
  }
];

// Prevent changes to the original data
const arrayCopy = array.map(item => ({ ...item }));

const listToTree = list => {
  const map = {};
  const roots = [];

  list.forEach((v, i) => {
    map[v.id] = i;
    list[i].children = [];
  });

  list.forEach(v => (v.parentId !== '0' ? list[map[v.parentId]].children.push(v) : roots.push(v)));

  return roots;
};

console.log(listToTree(arrayCopy));

该算法的原理是利用“map”建立索引关系。通过“parentId”可以很容易地在列表中找到“item”，并为每个“item”添加“children”，因为“list”是一个引用关系，所以“roots”将与整个树建立关系。

下面是我根据上面的答案创建的一个简单的帮助函数，为通天塔环境量身定制:

import { isEmpty } from 'lodash'

export default function unflattenEntities(entities, parent = {id: null}, tree = []) {

  let children = entities.filter( entity => entity.parent_id == parent.id)

  if (!isEmpty( children )) {
    if ( parent.id == null ) {
      tree = children
    } else {
      parent['children'] = children
    }
    children.map( child => unflattenEntities( entities, child ) )
  }

  return tree

}

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。
