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。

/* ** performance test for https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18017869/build-tree-array-from-flat-array-in-javascript */ // Data Set (e.g. nested comments) var comments = [{ id: 1, parent_id: null }, { id: 2, parent_id: 1 }, { id: 3, parent_id: 4 }, { id: 4, parent_id: null }, { id: 5, parent_id: 4 }]; // add some random entries let maxParentId = 10000; for (let i=6; i<=maxParentId; i++) { let randVal = Math.floor((Math.random() * maxParentId) + 1); comments.push({ id: i, parent_id: (randVal % 200 === 0 ? null : randVal) }); } // solution from user "shekhardtu" (https://stackoverflow.com/a/55241491/5135171) const nest = (items, id = null, link = 'parent_id') => items .filter(item => item[link] === id) .map(item => ({ ...item, children: nest(items, item.id) })); ; // solution from user "FurkanO" (https://stackoverflow.com/a/40732240/5135171) const createDataTree = dataset => { let hashTable = Object.create(null) dataset.forEach( aData => hashTable[aData.id] = { ...aData, children : [] } ) let dataTree = [] dataset.forEach( aData => { if( aData.parent_id ) hashTable[aData.parent_id].children.push(hashTable[aData.id]) else dataTree.push(hashTable[aData.id]) } ) return dataTree }; /* ** lets evaluate the timing for both methods */ let t0 = performance.now(); let createDataTreeResult = createDataTree(comments); let t1 = performance.now(); console.log("Call to createDataTree took " + Math.floor(t1 - t0) + " milliseconds."); t0 = performance.now(); let nestResult = nest(comments); t1 = performance.now(); console.log("Call to nest took " + Math.floor(t1 - t0) + " milliseconds."); //console.log(nestResult); //console.log(createDataTreeResult); // bad, but simple way of comparing object equality console.log(JSON.stringify(nestResult)===JSON.stringify(createDataTreeResult));

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));

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; } }

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);

这是一个旧线程，但我认为更新永远不会伤害，与ES6你可以做到:

const data = [{ id: 1, parent_id: 0 }, { id: 2, parent_id: 1 }, { id: 3, parent_id: 1 }, { id: 4, parent_id: 2 }, { id: 5, parent_id: 4 }, { id: 8, parent_id: 7 }, { id: 9, parent_id: 8 }, { id: 10, parent_id: 9 }]; const arrayToTree = (items=[], id = null, link = 'parent_id') => items.filter(item => id==null ? !items.some(ele=>ele.id===item[link]) : item[link] === id ).map(item => ({ ...item, children: arrayToTree(items, item.id) })) const temp1=arrayToTree(data) console.log(temp1) const treeToArray = (items=[], key = 'children') => items.reduce((acc, curr) => [...acc, ...treeToArray(curr[key])].map(({ [`${key}`]: child, ...ele }) => ele), items); const temp2=treeToArray(temp1) console.log(temp2)

希望它能帮助到别人

这是我在一个react项目中使用的

// ListToTree.js
import _filter from 'lodash/filter';
import _map from 'lodash/map';

export default (arr, parentIdKey) => _map(_filter(arr, ar => !ar[parentIdKey]), ar => ({
  ...ar,
  children: _filter(arr, { [parentIdKey]: ar.id }),
}));

用法:

// somewhere.js
import ListToTree from '../Transforms/ListToTree';

const arr = [
   {
      "id":"Bci6XhCLZKPXZMUztm1R",
      "name":"Sith"
   },
   {
      "id":"C3D71CMmASiR6FfDPlEy",
      "name":"Luke",
      "parentCategoryId":"ltatOlEkHdVPf49ACCMc"
   },
   {
      "id":"aS8Ag1BQqxkO6iWBFnsf",
      "name":"Obi Wan",
      "parentCategoryId":"ltatOlEkHdVPf49ACCMc"
   },
   {
      "id":"ltatOlEkHdVPf49ACCMc",
      "name":"Jedi"
   },
   {
      "id":"pw3CNdNhnbuxhPar6nOP",
      "name":"Palpatine",
      "parentCategoryId":"Bci6XhCLZKPXZMUztm1R"
   }
];
const response = ListToTree(arr, 'parentCategoryId');

输出:

[
   {
      "id":"Bci6XhCLZKPXZMUztm1R",
      "name":"Sith",
      "children":[
         {
            "id":"pw3CNdNhnbuxhPar6nOP",
            "name":"Palpatine",
            "parentCategoryId":"Bci6XhCLZKPXZMUztm1R"
         }
      ]
   },
   {
      "id":"ltatOlEkHdVPf49ACCMc",
      "name":"Jedi",
      "children":[
         {
            "id":"C3D71CMmASiR6FfDPlEy",
            "name":"Luke",
            "parentCategoryId":"ltatOlEkHdVPf49ACCMc"
         },
         {
            "id":"aS8Ag1BQqxkO6iWBFnsf",
            "name":"Obi Wan",
            "parentCategoryId":"ltatOlEkHdVPf49ACCMc"
         }
      ]
   }
]```
