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);

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2022

这是一个针对无序项的建议。该函数使用单个循环和哈希表，并收集所有带有id的项。如果找到根节点，则将该对象添加到结果数组中。

const getTree = (data, root) => { const t = {}; data.forEach(o => ((t[o.parentId] ??= {}).children ??= []).push(Object.assign(t[o.id] ??= {}, o))); return t[root].children; }, data = { 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 }], Animals: [{ id: "5", parentId: "0", text: "Dog", level: "1", children: null }, { id: "8", parentId: "5", text: "Puppy", level: "2", children: null }, { id: "10", parentId: "13", text: "Cat", level: "1", children: null }, { id: "14", parentId: "13", text: "Kitten", level: "2", children: null }] }, result = Object.fromEntries(Object .entries(data) .map(([k, v]) => [k, getTree(v, '0')]) ); console.log(result); .as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

下面是我根据上面的答案创建的一个简单的帮助函数，为通天塔环境量身定制:

import { isEmpty } from 'lodash'

export default function unflattenEntities(entities, parent = {id: null}, tree = []) {

  let children = entities.filter( entity => entity.parent_id == parent.id)

  if (!isEmpty( children )) {
    if ( parent.id == null ) {
      tree = children
    } else {
      parent['children'] = children
    }
    children.map( child => unflattenEntities( entities, child ) )
  }

  return tree

}

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)));
