Lodash remove duplicates from array

You could use lodash method _.uniqWith, it is available in the current version of lodash 4.17.2.

Example:

var objects = [{ 'x': 1, 'y': 2 }, { 'x': 2, 'y': 1 }, { 'x': 1, 'y': 2 }];

_.uniqWith(objects, _.isEqual);
// => [{ 'x': 1, 'y': 2 }, { 'x': 2, 'y': 1 }]

_.unique no longer works for the current version of Lodash as version 4.0.0 has this breaking change. The functionality of _.unique was splitted into _.uniq, _.sortedUniq, _.sortedUniqBy, and _.uniqBy.

You could use _.uniqBy like this:

_.uniqBy(data, function (e) {
  return e.id;
});

...or like this:

_.uniqBy(data, 'id');

For older versions of Lodash (< 4.0.0 ):

Assuming that the data should be uniqued by each object's id property and your data is stored in data variable, you can use the _.unique() function like this:

_.unique(data, function (e) {
  return e.id;
});

Or simply like this:

_.uniq(data, 'id');
