下面是Steven Harris的一个修改版本，它是普通的ES5，返回一个以id为键的对象，而不是返回顶层和子层的节点数组。

unflattenToObject = function(array, parent) {
  var tree = {};
  parent = typeof parent !== 'undefined' ? parent : {id: 0};

  var childrenArray = array.filter(function(child) {
    return child.parentid == parent.id;
  });

  if (childrenArray.length > 0) {
    var childrenObject = {};
    // Transform children into a hash/object keyed on token
    childrenArray.forEach(function(child) {
      childrenObject[child.id] = child;
    });
    if (parent.id == 0) {
      tree = childrenObject;
    } else {
      parent['children'] = childrenObject;
    }
    childrenArray.forEach(function(child) {
      unflattenToObject(array, child);
    })
  }

  return tree;
};

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}
];
tree = unflattenToObject(arr);

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)));

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();
}

有同样的问题，但我不能确定数据是否已排序。我不能使用第三方库，所以这只是香草Js;输入数据可以从@Stephen的例子中获取;

var arr = [ {'id':1 ,'parentid' : 0}, {'id':4 ,'parentid' : 2}, {'id':3 ,'parentid' : 1}, {'id':5 ,'parentid' : 0}, {'id':6 ,'parentid' : 0}, {'id':2 ,'parentid' : 1}, {'id':7 ,'parentid' : 4}, {'id':8 ,'parentid' : 1} ]; function unflatten(arr) { var tree = [], mappedArr = {}, arrElem, mappedElem; // First map the nodes of the array to an object -> create a hash table. for(var i = 0, len = arr.length; i < len; i++) { arrElem = arr[i]; mappedArr[arrElem.id] = arrElem; mappedArr[arrElem.id]['children'] = []; } for (var id in mappedArr) { if (mappedArr.hasOwnProperty(id)) { mappedElem = mappedArr[id]; // If the element is not at the root level, add it to its parent array of children. if (mappedElem.parentid) { mappedArr[mappedElem['parentid']]['children'].push(mappedElem); } // If the element is at the root level, add it to first level elements array. else { tree.push(mappedElem); } } } return tree; } var tree = unflatten(arr); document.body.innerHTML = "<pre>" + (JSON.stringify(tree, null, " "))

JS小提琴

平面阵列到树

数组元素可以以混乱的顺序排列

let array = [ { id: 1, data: 'something', parent_id: null, children: [] }, { id: 2, data: 'something', parent_id: 1, children: [] }, { id: 5, data: 'something', parent_id: 4, children: [] }, { id: 4, data: 'something', parent_id: 3, children: [] }, { id: 3, data: 'something', parent_id: null, children: [] }, { id: 6, data: 'something', parent_id: null, children: [] } ] function buildTree(array) { let tree = [] for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { if (array[i].parent_id) { let parent = array.filter(elem => elem.id === array[i].parent_id).pop() parent.children.push(array[i]) } else { tree.push(array[i]) } } return tree } const tree = buildTree(array) console.log(tree); .as-console-wrapper { min-height: 100% }

我的typescript解决方案，可能对你有帮助:

type ITreeItem<T> = T & {
    children: ITreeItem<T>[],
};

type IItemKey = string | number;

function createTree<T>(
    flatList: T[],
    idKey: IItemKey,
    parentKey: IItemKey,
): ITreeItem<T>[] {
    const tree: ITreeItem<T>[] = [];

    // hash table.
    const mappedArr = {};
    flatList.forEach(el => {
        const elId: IItemKey = el[idKey];

        mappedArr[elId] = el;
        mappedArr[elId].children = [];
    });

    // also you can use Object.values(mappedArr).forEach(...
    // but if you have element which was nested more than one time
    // you should iterate flatList again:
    flatList.forEach((elem: ITreeItem<T>) => {
        const mappedElem = mappedArr[elem[idKey]];

        if (elem[parentKey]) {
            mappedArr[elem[parentKey]].children.push(elem);
        } else {
            tree.push(mappedElem);
        }
    });

    return tree;
}

用法示例:

createTree(yourListData, 'id', 'parentId');
