Filtering an array for unique values code example

Example 1: javascript find unique values in array

// usage example:
var myArray = ['a', 1, 'a', 2, '1'];
var unique = myArray.filter((v, i, a) => a.indexOf(v) === i); 

// unique is ['a', 1, 2, '1']

Example 2: get only unique values from array javascript

arr = [2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 3,3, 4, 5];
arr = arr.sort().filter((item,i)=>!(arr[i] == arr[i+1] || arr[i-1]==arr[i]));
// this will remove all item which are repeating more then one
console.log(arr);
// [1, 4, 5]

Example 3: Filtering an array for unique values

const my_array = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5]
const unique_array = [...new Set(my_array)];
console.log(unique_array); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
