javascript find multiple elements in array code example

Example 1: 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 2: javascript get same elments from multiple arrays

var result = arrays.shift().filter(function(v) {
    return arrays.every(function(a) {
        return a.indexOf(v) !== -1;
    });
});

Example 3: javascript find matching elements in two arrays

let firstArray = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"];
let secondArray = ["Three", "Four"];

let map = {};
firstArray.forEach(i => map[i] = false);
secondArray.forEach(i => map[i] === false && (map[i] = true));
let jsonArray = Object.keys(map).map(k => ({ name: k, matched: map[k] }));
