array of objects remove duplicate keys code example

Example 1: remove duplicate objects from array javascript

const addresses = [...]; // Some array I got from async call

const uniqueAddresses = Array.from(new Set(addresses.map(a => a.id)))
 .map(id => {
   return addresses.find(a => a.id === id)
 })

Example 2: combine 2 "arrays with objects" and remove object duplicates javascript

// Join Without Dupes.
const joinWithoutDupes = (A, B) => {
  const a = new Set(A.map(x => x.item))
  const b = new Set(B.map(x => x.item))
  return [...A.filter(x => !b.has(x.item)), ...B.filter(x => !a.has(x.item))]
}

// Proof.
const output = joinWithoutDupes([{item:"apple",description: "lorem"},{item:"peach",description: "impsum"}], [{item:"apple", description: "dolor"},{item:"grape", description: "enum"}])
console.log(output)

Example 3: remove duplicate in aaray of objects

const things = {
  thing: [
    { place: 'here', name: 'stuff' },
    { place: 'there', name: 'morestuff1' },
    { place: 'there', name: 'morestuff2' }, 
  ],
};

const removeDuplicates = (array, key) => {
  return array.reduce((arr, item) => {
    const removed = arr.filter(i => i[key] !== item[key]);
    return [...removed, item];
  }, []);
};

console.log(removeDuplicates(things.thing, 'place'));
// > [{ place: 'here', name: 'stuff' }, { place: 'there', name: 'morestuff2' }]
