Package Exports
- sort-array
- sort-array/index.mjs
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (sort-array) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
sort-array
Sort an array of objects or primitives, by any property value, in any combindation of ascending, descending, custom or calculated order.
Example
const sortBy = require('sort-array')sortBy(recordset, sortBy, sortTypes, [namedConfigs]) ⇒ Array ⏏
Kind: Exported function
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| recordset | Array |
Input array of objects or primitive values. |
| sortBy | Array.<(string|function())> |
One or more property expressions to sort by. Expressions may be strings which refer to properties in the input array; they may be strings which refer to properties in the optional namedConfigs.namedComputedProps parameter; or they may be inline functions which dynamically calculate values for each property in the input array. |
| sortTypes | Array.<(string|Array.<*>)> |
The sort types for each of the sortBy expressions. Values may be 'asc', 'desc', an array of custom values, and strings which refer to properties in the optional namedConfigs.namedCustomOrders parameter. |
| [namedConfigs] | object |
Provides a means of reusing computed property functions and custom sort types. |
| [namedConfigs.namedComputedProps] | object |
Key/value pairs, where the keys correspond to strings given in the sortBy property list, and the values are functions which will dynamically calculated values for each property in the input array. |
| [namedConfigs.namedCustomOrders] | object |
Key/value pairs, where the keys correspond to strings given in the sortTypes list, and the values are arrays of custom values which define the sort type. |
