[removed] Remove duplicates of objects sharing same property value

Question

I have an array of objects that I would like to trim down based on a specific key:value pair. I want to create an array that includes only one object per this s

Answer 1

Simple solution although not the most performant:

var unique = [];
duplicates.forEach(function(d) {
    var found = false;
    unique.forEach(function(u) {
        if(u.key == d.key) {
            found = true;
        }
    });
    if(!found) {
        unique.push(d);
    }
});

Answer 2

for (let i = 0; i < arrayWithDuplicates.length; i++) {
     for (let j = i + 1; j < arrayWithDuplicates.length; j++) {
       if (arrayWithDuplicates[i].name === students[j].name) {
          arrayWithDuplicates.splice(i, 1);
       }
     }
    }

this will work perfectly...and this will delete first repeated array.
To delete last repeated array we only have to change
 arrayWithDuplicates.splice(i, 1) ; into
 arrayWithDuplicates.splice(j, 1);

Answer 3

You can use lodash to remove duplicate objects:

 import * as _ from 'lodash';
  _.uniqBy(data, 'id');

Here 'id' is your unique identifier

Answer 4

using lodash you can filter it out easily

the first parameter will be your array and second will be your field with duplicates

_.uniqBy(arrayWithDuplicates, 'color')

it will return an array with unique value

Answer 5

I don't think there's a built-in function in Angular, but it isn't hard to create one:

function removeDuplicates(originalArray, objKey) {
  var trimmedArray = [];
  var values = [];
  var value;

  for(var i = 0; i < originalArray.length; i++) {
    value = originalArray[i][objKey];

    if(values.indexOf(value) === -1) {
      trimmedArray.push(originalArray[i]);
      values.push(value);
    }
  }

  return trimmedArray;

}

Usage:

removeDuplicates(arrayWithDuplicates, 'size');

Returns:

[
    {
        "color": "red",
        "size": "small"
    },
    {
        "color": "blue",
        "size": "medium"
    },
    {
        "color": "red",
        "size": "large"
    }
]

And

removeDuplicates(arrayWithDuplicates, 'color');

Returns:

[
    {
        "color": "red",
        "size": "small"
    },
    {
        "color": "green",
        "size": "small"
    },
    {
        "color": "blue",
        "size": "medium"
    }
]

You can use underscore for this:

//by size:
var uSize = _.uniqBy(arrayWithDuplicates, function(p){ return p.size; });

//by custom.price;
var uPrice = _.uniqBy(arrayWithDuplicates, function(p){ return p.custom.price; });
