经过多次尝试，我得出了这个结论:

const arrayToTree = (arr, parent = 0) => arr .filter(item => item.parent === parent).map(child => ({ ...child, children: arrayToTree(arr, child.index) }));

   

const entries = [ { index: 1, parent: 0 }, { index: 2, parent: 1 }, { index: 3, parent: 2 }, { index: 4, parent: 2 }, { index: 5, parent: 4 }, { index: 6, parent: 5 }, { index: 7, parent: 6 }, { index: 8, parent: 7 }, { index: 9, parent: 8 }, { index: 10, parent: 9 }, { index: 11, parent: 7 }, { index: 13, parent: 11 }, { index: 12, parent: 0 } ]; const arrayToTree = (arr, parent = 0) => arr .filter(item => item.parent === parent) .map(child => ({ ...child, children: arrayToTree(arr, child.index) })); console.log(arrayToTree(entries));

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();
}

var data = [{"country":"india","gender":"male","type":"lower","class":"X"}, {"country":"china","gender":"female","type":"upper"}, {"country":"india","gender":"female","type":"lower"}, {"country":"india","gender":"female","type":"upper"}]; var seq = ["country","type","gender","class"]; var treeData = createHieArr(data,seq); console.log(treeData) function createHieArr(data,seq){ var hieObj = createHieobj(data,seq,0), hieArr = convertToHieArr(hieObj,"Top Level"); return [{"name": "Top Level", "parent": "null", "children" : hieArr}] function convertToHieArr(eachObj,parent){ var arr = []; for(var i in eachObj){ arr.push({"name":i,"parent":parent,"children":convertToHieArr(eachObj[i],i)}) } return arr; } function createHieobj(data,seq,ind){ var s = seq[ind]; if(s == undefined){ return []; } var childObj = {}; for(var ele of data){ if(ele[s] != undefined){ if(childObj[ele[s]] == undefined){ childObj[ele[s]] = []; } childObj[ele[s]].push(ele); } } ind = ind+1; for(var ch in childObj){ childObj[ch] = createHieobj(childObj[ch],seq,ind) } return childObj; } }

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。

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
 */

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;
}
