createSortByBooleanFn

Creates a sort function for objects by a boolean property.

Values are coerced with Boolean() before comparing, so null, undefined, 0, and '' behave as false, and any other truthy value behaves as true.

Signature

createSortByBooleanFn<T extends Record<string, unknown>>(property: keyof T, trueFirst: boolean): SortFn<T>

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description

SortFn<T> — Sort function

Examples

Sort objects with true values first

Default items float to the top of the list.

const items = [{ isDefault: false }, { isDefault: true }, { isDefault: false }];
items.sort(createSortByBooleanFn('isDefault'))
// => [{ isDefault: true }, { isDefault: false }, { isDefault: false }]

Sort with false values first

Pass trueFirst = false to invert the priority.

const items = [{ archived: true }, { archived: false }];
items.sort(createSortByBooleanFn('archived', false))
// => [{ archived: false }, { archived: true }]
