How to get distinct values from an array of objects in JavaScript?

Question

Assuming I have the following:

var array = 
    [
        {\"name\":\"Joe\", \"age\":17}, 
        {\"name\":\"Bob\", \"age\":17}, 
        {\"name\":\"Carl\         


        

Answer 1

My below code will show the unique array of ages as well as new array not having duplicate age

var data = [
  {"name": "Joe", "age": 17}, 
  {"name": "Bob", "age": 17}, 
  {"name": "Carl", "age": 35}
];

var unique = [];
var tempArr = [];
data.forEach((value, index) => {
    if (unique.indexOf(value.age) === -1) {
        unique.push(value.age);
    } else {
        tempArr.push(index);    
    }
});
tempArr.reverse();
tempArr.forEach(ele => {
    data.splice(ele, 1);
});
console.log('Unique Ages', unique);
console.log('Unique Array', data);```
