  ]

const key = 'age';

const arrayUniqueByKey = [...new Map(array.map(item =>
  [item[key], item])).values()];

console.log(arrayUniqueByKey);

   /*OUTPUT
       [
        { "name": "Bob", "age": 17 },
        { "name": "Carl", "age": 35 }

function uniqueByKey(array, key) {
  return [...new Map(array.map((x) => [x[key], x])).values()];
}

console.log(uniqueByKey(array, 'age'));

{name:"Joe", date:'2018-07-02', amt:250 },
{name:"Jupiter", date:'2018-07-01', amt:250 },
]
var resArr = [];
data.filter(function(item){
  var i = resArr.findIndex(x => (x.name == item.name && x.date == item.date && x.amt == item.amt));
  if(i <= -1){
        resArr.push(item);
  }
  return null;
});
console.log(resArr)
