A tiny library to sort array of objects based on multiple properties
npm install sort-object-array0.50KB [minified+gzipped] and 2.25KB [uncompressed source].
$ npm install --save sort-object-array
`
or include index.js manually as
Usage
`javascript
const sort = require('objectarray-sort');
sort([{a:{b:2}},{a:{b:6}},{a:{b:1}}], 'a.b');
sort(test, ['a.b', 'a.c.d', 'a.e.f.g'], ['desc', 'asc', 'desc']);
`
For browser environments, the library exports a global arraySort, which can be used in a similar fashion,
`js
arraySort(test, ['a.b', 'a.c', 'a.d'], ['desc', 'asc', 'desc']);
// returns the sorted 'test' array
`
API
$3
Sorts and returns an array.
#### array
Type: Array
Default: none
Array to be sorted
#### sortBy
Type:
Default: none
The property against which sorting is to be performed. A single string value or array of strings.
If an array is passed, the priority of sort is in decreases from left to right.
Say, if you pass as the argument, the function will sort the array based on 'a.b' first, then for same values of 'a.b', it will sort those values by 'a.c' and so on.
By default, all orders are ascending. For changing order, see order.
#### order
Type: String | Array
Default:
The order which sorting is to be performed. A single string value or array of strings. Values are 'asc' or 'desc'.
If it is an array, it maps one to one to the arguments of sortBy.
In the example sort(test, ['a.b', 'a.c.d', 'a.e.f.g'], ['desc', 'asc', 'desc']), 'a.b' is sorted in descending order, 'a.c.d' in ascending order and 'a.e.f.g' in descending order.
Defaults to 'asc'`.
