filter doubles out of an javascript code example

Example 1: javascript remove duplicates from array

function toUniqueArray(a){
    var newArr = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        if (newArr.indexOf(a[i]) === -1) {
            newArr.push(a[i]);
        }
    }
  return newArr;
}
var colors = ["red","red","green","green","green"];
var colorsUnique=toUniqueArray(colors); // ["red","green"]

Example 2: js delete duplicates from array

const names = ['John', 'Paul', 'George', 'Ringo', 'John'];

function removeDups(names) {
  let unique = {};
  names.forEach(function(i) {
    if(!unique[i]) {
      unique[i] = true;
    }
  });
  return Object.keys(unique);
}

removeDups(names); // // 'John', 'Paul', 'George', 'Ringo'
