Advanced tools
The array-union package is designed to create an array of unique values, in order, from all given arrays. It's particularly useful for combining arrays while removing duplicate entries, ensuring that the resulting array contains only unique items.
Creating a union of arrays
This feature allows you to combine multiple arrays into one array with unique values, effectively removing duplicates.
const arrayUnion = require('array-union');
const result = arrayUnion([1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4]);
console.log(result); // Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Lodash's union function offers similar functionality to array-union by creating an array of unique values, in order, from all given arrays. Lodash is a more comprehensive utility library, so using lodash.union might be preferable if you're already using Lodash in your project.
Create an array of unique values, in order, from the input arrays
$ npm install array-union
import arrayUnion from 'array-union';
arrayUnion([1, 1, 2, 3], [2, 3]);
//=> [1, 2, 3]
arrayUnion(['foo', 'foo', 'bar']);
//=> ['foo', 'bar']
arrayUnion(['🐱', '🦄', '🐻'], ['🦄', '🌈']);
//=> ['🐱', '🦄', '🐻', '🌈']
arrayUnion(['🐱', '🦄'], ['🐻', '🦄'], ['🐶', '🌈', '🌈']);
//=> ['🐱', '🦄', '🐻', '🐶', '🌈']
