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”

我喜欢@WilliamLeung的纯JavaScript解决方案，但有时你需要在现有数组中进行更改，以保持对对象的引用。

function listToTree(data, options) {
  options = options || {};
  var ID_KEY = options.idKey || 'id';
  var PARENT_KEY = options.parentKey || 'parent';
  var CHILDREN_KEY = options.childrenKey || 'children';

  var item, id, parentId;
  var map = {};
    for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) { // make cache
    if(data[i][ID_KEY]){
      map[data[i][ID_KEY]] = data[i];
      data[i][CHILDREN_KEY] = [];
    }
  }
  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    if(data[i][PARENT_KEY]) { // is a child
      if(map[data[i][PARENT_KEY]]) // for dirty data
      {
        map[data[i][PARENT_KEY]][CHILDREN_KEY].push(data[i]); // add child to parent
        data.splice( i, 1 ); // remove from root
        i--; // iterator correction
      } else {
        data[i][PARENT_KEY] = 0; // clean dirty data
      }
    }
  };
  return data;
}

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npm包数组到树https://github.com/alferov/array-to-tree。 它将普通的节点数组(带有指向父节点的指针)转换为嵌套的数据结构。

解决了从数据库数据集检索到嵌套数据结构(即导航树)的转换问题。

用法:

var arrayToTree = require('array-to-tree');

var dataOne = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: 'Portfolio',
    parent_id: undefined
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Web Development',
    parent_id: 1
  },
  {
    id: 3,
    name: 'Recent Works',
    parent_id: 2
  },
  {
    id: 4,
    name: 'About Me',
    parent_id: undefined
  }
];

arrayToTree(dataOne);

/*
 * Output:
 *
 * Portfolio
 *   Web Development
 *     Recent Works
 * About Me
 */

你可以使用这个来自Github或NPM的“treeify”包。

安装:

$ NPM install——save-dev treeify-js

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, " "))
