sortcoll

Simple helper to create a collection sort function for multiple keys.

Install

npm install sortcoll

Initialize

var sortcoll = require( "sortcoll" )

`sortcoll( keys, [forward=true], [fnGet] )``

Usage

var sortcoll = require( "sortcoll" )

var data = [  
  { id: 1, name: "Fritz" },
  { id: 2, name: "Müller" },
  { id: 3, name: "Meier" },
  { id: 4, name: "Fritz" }
];

var sortFunction = sortcoll( [ "name", "id" ], false );

var sorted = data.sort( sortFunction );
/*
[
    { id: 1, name: "Fritz" },
    { id: 4, name: "Fritz" },
    { id: 3, name: "Meier" },
    { id: 2, name: "Müller" }
]
*/

Arguments:

• keys : ( String|String[] required ) A simple key to sort by or a list of keys sorted in the given order. Similar to sql ORDER BY name, id
• forward : ( Boolean|Object optional: default = true ) Sort from a-z if true. Otherwise from z-a. You can set the direction for the sort keys separately by using an object. If you set a object key ? this will be used for every not undefined key.
• fnGet : ( Function optional ) A optional function to get the sorting data from the element. Default is just el[key]

Advanced example

with fnGet and mixed forward

Here's a small example to use the fnGet argument with e.g. backbone.

var sortcoll = require( "sortcoll" )

var data = [  
	{ id: 13, name: "Foo", age: 42 },
	{ id: 1337, name: "Bar", age: 666 },
	{ id: 42, name: "Fizz", age: 23 },
	{ id: 23, name: "Bar", age: 23 },
	{ id: 666, name: "Buzz", age: 13 }
	{ id: 7, name: "Bar", age: 23 },
];

var fnGet = function( el, key ){
    return el.get( key )
};

var sortFunction = sortcoll( [ "name", "id" ], { age: false, "?": true }, fnGet );

myCollection = new Backbone.Collection( data, comparator: sortFunction )

var myCollection.toJSON();
/*
[
    { id: 1337, name: "Bar", age: 666 },
    { id: 13, name: "Foo", age: 42 },
    { id: 7, name: "Bar", age: 23 },
    { id: 23, name: "Bar", age: 23 },
    { id: 42, name: "Fizz", age: 23 },
    { id: 666, name: "Buzz", age: 13 }
]
*/
