sort-keys-with-context

Sort the keys of an object

Useful to get a deterministically ordered object, as the order of keys can vary between engines.

:fork_and_knife: This is a fork of https://github.com/sindresorhus/sort-keys. The compartor function (if given) will be bound to the current object context. So it is possible to get the value of the keys:

function myComparator(left, right) {
  let lvalue = this[left];
  let rvalue = this[right];
  // compare based on keys and values
  // ...
}

Install

$ npm install sort-keys-with-context

Usage

const sortKeys = require('sort-keys-with-context');

sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0});
//=> {a: 0, b: 0, c: 0}

sortKeys({b: {b: 0, a: 0}, a: 0}, {deep: true});
//=> {a: 0, b: {a: 0, b: 0}}

sortKeys({b: [{b: 0, a: 0}], a: 0}, {deep: true});
//=> {a: 0, b: [{a: 0, b: 0}]}

sortKeys({c: 0, a: 0, b: 0}, {
	compare: (a, b) => -a.localeCompare(b)
});
//=> {c: 0, b: 0, a: 0}
