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();
}

更新

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);

ES6地图版本:

getTreeData = (items) => {
  if (items && items.length > 0) {
    const data = [];
    const map = {};
    items.map((item) => {
      const id = item.id; // custom id selector !!!
      if (!map.hasOwnProperty(id)) {
        // in case of duplicates
        map[id] = {
          ...item,
          children: [],
        };
      }
    });
    for (const id in map) {
      if (map.hasOwnProperty(id)) {
        let mappedElem = [];
        mappedElem = map[id];
        /// parentId : use custom id selector for parent
        if (
          mappedElem.parentId &&
          typeof map[mappedElem.parentId] !== "undefined"
        ) {
          map[mappedElem.parentId].children.push(mappedElem);
        } else {
          data.push(mappedElem);
        }
      }
    }
    return data;
  }
  return [];
};

/// use like this :

const treeData = getTreeData(flatList);

(奖励1:节点可以排序，也可以不排序)

(bonus2:不需要第三方库，纯js)

(BONUS3:用户“Elias Rabl”说这是最高效的解决方案，见下面他的回答)

下面就是:

const createDataTree = dataset => {
  const hashTable = Object.create(null);
  dataset.forEach(aData => hashTable[aData.ID] = {...aData, childNodes: []});
  const dataTree = [];
  dataset.forEach(aData => {
    if(aData.parentID) hashTable[aData.parentID].childNodes.push(hashTable[aData.ID])
    else dataTree.push(hashTable[aData.ID])
  });
  return dataTree;
};

下面是一个测试，它可能会帮助你理解解决方案是如何工作的:

it('creates a correct shape of dataTree', () => {
  const dataSet = [{
    "ID": 1,
    "Phone": "(403) 125-2552",
    "City": "Coevorden",
    "Name": "Grady"
  }, {
    "ID": 2,
    "parentID": 1,
    "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,
      "Phone": "(979) 486-1932",
      "City": "Chełm",
      "Name": "Scarlet",
      childNodes : []
    }]
  }];

  expect(createDataTree(dataSet)).toEqual(expectedDataTree);
});

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>

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');
