console.log([...new Set(findDuplicates(strArray))]) // Unique duplicates

Example 2: how to get duplicate values from array in javascript

var names = ['Mike', 'Matt', 'Nancy', 'Adam', 'Jenny', 'Nancy', 'Carl']

var uniq = names
  .map((name) => {
    return {
      count: 1,
      name: name
    }
  })
  .reduce((a, b) => {
    a[b.name] = (a[b.name] || 0) + b.count
    return a
  }, {})

var duplicates = Object.keys(uniq).filter((a) => uniq[a] > 1)

console.log(duplicates) // [ 'Nancy' ]

Example 3: how to get duplicate values from array in javascript

let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 4, 1, 5, 6]
let b = [...new Set(a.sort().filter((o, i) => o !== undefined && a[i + 1] !== undefined && o === a[i + 1]))]

// b is now [1, 2, 4]
