find duplicate in array js code example

Example 1: count duplicates array js

uniqueCount = ["a","b","c","d","d","e","a","b","c","f","g","h","h","h","e","a"];
var count = {};
uniqueCount.forEach(function(i) { count[i] = (count[i]||0) + 1;});
console.log(count);

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: javascript duplicate an array

let arr =["a","b","c"];
// ES6 way
const duplicate = [...arr];

// older method
const duplicate = Array.from(arr);

Example 4: javascript find duplicate in array

// JavaScript - finds if there is duplicate in an array. 
// Returns True or False.

const isThereADuplicate = function(arrayOfNumbers) {
    // Create an empty associative array or hash. 
    // This is preferred,
    let counts = {};
    // // but this also works. Comment in below and comment out above if you want to try.
    // let counts = [];

    for(var i = 0; i <= arrayOfNumbers.length; i++) {
        // As the arrayOfNumbers is being iterated through,
        // the counts hash is being populated.
        // Each value in the array becomes a key in the hash. 
        // The value assignment of 1, is there to complete the hash structure.
        // Once the key exists, meaning there is a duplicate, return true.
        // If there are no duplicates, the if block completes and returns false.
        if(counts[arrayOfNumbers[i]] === undefined) {
            counts[arrayOfNumbers[i]] = 1;
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Example 5: javascript get duplicates in array

function getDuplicateArrayElements(arr){
    var sorted_arr = arr.slice().sort();
    var results = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < sorted_arr.length - 1; i++) {
        if (sorted_arr[i + 1] === sorted_arr[i]) {
            results.push(sorted_arr[i]);
        }
    }
    return results;
}

var colors = ["red","orange","blue","green","red","blue"];
var duplicateColors= getDuplicateArrayElements(colors);//["blue", "red"]

Example 6: check for duplicates in array javascript

[1, 2, 3].every((e, i, a) => a.indexOf(e) === i) // true

[1, 2, 1].every((e, i, a) => a.indexOf(e) === i) // false
