javascript unique array elements 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: array unique values javascript

const myArray = ['a', 1, 'a', 2, '1'];
const unique = [...new Set(myArray)]; // ['a', 1, 2, '1']

Example 4: 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 5: 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 6: array with unique values javascript

let uniqueItems = [...new Set(items)]
