我使用@FurkanO answer并创建了一个可以用于任何对象类型的泛型函数，我还用TypeScript写了这个函数，我更喜欢它，因为它有自动补全功能。

实现:

1. Javascript:

export const flatListToTree = (flatList, idPath, parentIdPath, childListPath, isParent) => {
  const rootParents = [];
  const map = {};
  for (const item of flatList) {
    if (!item[childListPath]) item[childListPath] = [];
    map[item[idPath]] = item;
  }
  for (const item of flatList) {
    const parentId = item[parentIdPath];
    if (isParent(item)) {
      rootParents.push(item);
    } else {
      const parentItem = map[parentId];
      parentItem[childListPath].push(item);
    }
  }
  return rootParents;
};

2. TypeScript:我假设“T”类型有一个属性的孩子列表，你可以改变“childListPath”是一个字符串而不是“keyof T”如果你有不同的用例。

export const flatListToTree = <T>(
  flatList: T[],
  idPath: keyof T,
  parentIdPath: keyof T,
  childListPath: keyof T,
  isParent: (t: T) => boolean,
) => {
  const rootParents: T[] = [];
  const map: any = {};
  for (const item of flatList) {
    if (!(item as any)[childListPath]) (item as any)[childListPath] = [];
    map[item[idPath]] = item;
  }
  for (const item of flatList) {
    const parentId = item[parentIdPath];
    if (isParent(item)) {
      rootParents.push(item);
    } else {
      const parentItem = map[parentId];
      parentItem[childListPath].push(item);
    }
  }
  return rootParents;
};

使用方法:

  const nodes = [
    { id: 2, pid: undefined, children: [] },
    { id: 3, pid: 2 },
    { id: 4, pid: 2 },
    { id: 5, pid: 4 },
    { id: 6, pid: 5 },
    { id: 7, pid: undefined },
    { id: 8, pid: 7 },
  ];
  
  const result = flatListToTree(nodes, "id", "pid", "children", node => node.pid === undefined);

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;
}

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');

没有第三方库 不需要预先排序数组 你可以得到树的任何部分

试试这个

function getUnflatten(arr,parentid){
  let output = []
  for(const obj of arr){
    if(obj.parentid == parentid)

      let children = getUnflatten(arr,obj.id)

      if(children.length){
        obj.children = children
      }
      output.push(obj)
    }
  }

  return output
 }

在Jsfiddle上测试它

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));

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)。

FurkanO的解决方案似乎是最快的。
