A function to filter unique (you-neek) values
You can read about it on Medium
npm install youneek
const unique = require('youneek');
const arr = [1,2,3,4,1,3,5,8,9,9];
/* Make sure you call unique! See why below */
const result = arr.filter(unique());
// result === [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9];
Though to be honest, you could copy and paste this. It's really small and I won't begrudge you for doing that, but maybe give me a star?
const unique = () => {
let cache;
return (elem, index, array) => {
if (!cache) cache = new Set(array);
return cache.delete(elem);
};
};
Try it out with runkit
This package uses new Set
. If you are on an older browser you may need a polyfill.
