Usage

var sortJsonArray = require('sort-json-array');
 
sortJsonArray([{name: 'c'}, {name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}], 'name');
//=> [{name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}, {name: 'c'}]
 
sortJsonArray([{name: 'c'}, {name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}], 'name','des');
//=> [{name: 'c'}, {name: 'b'}, {name: 'a'}]
 
sortJsonArray([{name: 'c'}, {name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}], 'name','asc');
//=> [{name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}, {name: 'c'}]

Params

sortJsonArray(array, property, order);

• array: {Array} The array to be sorted.
• property: {String}: The Property based on what the array should be sorted.
• order: {String}: Pass 'des' if you want array to be sorted in descending order. Pass 'asc' if you want array to be sorted in ascending order. By default it will be sorted in ascending order.

Examples

var sortJsonArray = require('sort-json-array');
 
var user = [
  { name: 'c', location: "San Jose" },
  { name: 'a', location: "San Francisco"},
  { name: 'b', location: "New York" },
];
 
// sort by `name` in ascending order because order is not passed
console.log(sortJsonArray(user, 'name'));
 
// sort by `location` in descending order
console.log(sortJsonArray(user, 'location','des'));
 
// sort by `name` in ascending order
console.log(sortJsonArray(user, 'name','asc'));
