Get list of duplicate objects in an array of objects
You can use Array#reduce
to make a counter lookup table based on the id
key, then use Array#filter
to remove any items that appeared only once in the lookup table. Time complexity is O(n).
const values = [{id: 10, name: 'someName1'}, {id: 10, name: 'someName2'}, {id: 11, name:'someName3'}, {id: 12, name: 'someName4'}];
const lookup = values.reduce((a, e) => {
a[e.id] = ++a[e.id] || 0;
return a;
}, {});
console.log(values.filter(e => lookup[e.id]));
Let's say you have:
arr = [
{ id:10, name: 'someName1' },
{ id:10, name: 'someName2' },
{ id:11, name: 'someName3' },
{ id:12, name: 'someName4' }
]
So, to get unique items:
unique = arr
.map(e => e['id'])
.map((e, i, final) => final.indexOf(e) === i && i)
.filter(obj=> arr[obj])
.map(e => arr[e]);
Then, result will be
unique = [
{ id:10, name: 'someName1' },
{ id:11, name: 'someName3' },
{ id:12, name: 'someName4' }
]
And, to get duplicate ids:
duplicateIds = arr
.map(e => e['id'])
.map((e, i, final) => final.indexOf(e) !== i && i)
.filter(obj=> arr[obj])
.map(e => arr[e]["id"])
List of IDs will be
duplicateIds = [10]
Thus, to get duplicates objects:
duplicate = arr.filter(obj=> dublicateIds.includes(obj.id));
Now you have it:
duplicate = [
{ id:10, name: 'someName1' },
{ id:10, name: 'someName2' }
]

You haven't clarified whether two objects with different ids, but the same "name" count as a duplicate. I will assume those do not count as a duplicate; in other words, only objects with the same id will count as duplicate.
let ids = {};
let dups = [];
values.forEach((val)=> {
if (ids[val.id]) {
// we have already found this same id
dups.push(val)
} else {
ids[val.id] = true;
}
})
return dups;
