array with unique elements javascript code example

Example 1: javascript array unique values

var arr = [55, 44, 65,1,2,3,3,34,5];
var unique = [...new Set(arr)]

//just  var unique = new Set(arr) wont be an array

Example 2: 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 3: javascript get distinct values from array

const categories = ['General', 'Exotic', 'Extreme', 'Extreme', 'General' ,'Water', 'Extreme']
.filter((value, index, categoryArray) => categoryArray.indexOf(value) === index);

This will return an array that has the unique category names
['General', 'Exotic', 'Extreme', 'Water']

Example 4: how to get unique values from array in javascript without duplicate value

function uniqueArray2(arr) {
    var a = [];
    for (var i=0, l=arr.length; i<l; i++)
        if (a.indexOf(arr[i]) === -1 && arr[i] !== '')
            a.push(arr[i]);
    return a;
}
