key-sort

Introduction

Sorts an array by key, maintaining key to data correlations. This is useful mainly for associative arrays. This is a implementation of PHP ksort() without any sortflags.

To convert in object/array into associative array, please see object-to-associative-array

Installation

``npm install key-sort``

Requirements

NODE v0.8.0 or higher

I/O

Input

• Input should always be an associative array.

• Provided array should contain objects and each object should have only one property.

• Property value can be either primitive data types or another associative array.

Output

• Returns array sorted by property name.

• Also modifies input array.

• Deep sorting is default.

• Pass false for not nesting sort.

Examples

Simple Sort

```javascript const keySort = require('key-sort'); let arr = {world: 'world'}, {middle: 'hello'}, {greeting: 'Welcome to'} ; let sortedArr = keySort(arr); // {greeting: 'Welcome to'},{middle: 'hello'},{world: 'world'} ```

Deep Sort

```javascript const keySort = require('key-sort'); let arr = {x: 1}, {a:

{f: 365},

{d: 25}

} ; let sortedArr = keySort(arr); // {"a" :{"d" :25},{"f" :365}},{"x" :1} ```

Shallow Sort

```javascript const keySort = require('key-sort'); let arr = {x: 1}, {a:

{f: 365},

{d: 25}

} ; let sortedArr = keySort(arr, false); // {"a" :{"f" :365},{"d" :25}},{"x" :1} ```
