How to remove duplicates from an object array using spread operator



I have below object array with id as unique key":


var test = [
id: 1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",
id: 2, PlaceRef: "*00022", Component: "BAXI10R", SubLocCode: "KIT", BarCode:"",
id: 1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",
id: 3, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "ANR190", SubLocCode: "B1", BarCode: ""
]



From this I want to retrieve unique objects using spread operator, I have tried using below code:


const uniKeys = [...(new Set(test.map(( id ) => id)))];



I am able to retrieve id's only, how can I retrieve the unique objects using spread operator. Also, any new ES6 features implementation would be helpful.





This thread: gist.github.com/telekosmos/3b62a31a5c43f40849bb has a bunch of ways to get unique values from an array, including for an array of objects (i.e. filtering array of objects on unique values of a certain key).

You could map back to array of objects using find method, this will return first object with that id.


map


find




var test = [id:1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",id:2, PlaceRef: "*00022", Component: "BAXI10R", SubLocCode: "KIT", BarCode:"",id:1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",id:3, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "ANR190", SubLocCode: "B1", BarCode: ""]
var uniq = [...new Set(test.map((id) => id))].map(e => test.find((id) => id == e));
console.log(uniq)



You could also use filter method instead.


filter




var test = [id:1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",id:2, PlaceRef: "*00022", Component: "BAXI10R", SubLocCode: "KIT", BarCode:"",id:1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",id:3, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "ANR190", SubLocCode: "B1", BarCode: ""]

var uniq = test.filter(function(id)
return !this[id] && (this[id] = id)
, )

console.log(uniq)





when i tried first solution it says "Type 'Set<any>' is not an array type. Use compiler option '--downlevelIteration' to allow iterating of iterators."

@tracer Try Array.from instead of [...]

Array.from


[...]



You could use a Set and filter by unkown id.


Set


id




var test = [ id: 1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "" , id: 2, PlaceRef: "*00022", Component: "BAXI10R", SubLocCode: "KIT", BarCode: "" , id: 1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "" , id: 3, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "ANR190", SubLocCode: "B1", BarCode: "" ],
unique = test.filter((s => ( id ) => !s.has(id) && s.add(id))(new Set));

console.log(unique);


.as-console-wrapper max-height: 100% !important; top: 0;



You could create a Map by id and then extract values. [...new Map(test.map(item => [item.id, item])).values()]


[...new Map(test.map(item => [item.id, item])).values()]




var test = [id:1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",
id:2, PlaceRef: "*00022", Component: "BAXI10R", SubLocCode: "KIT", BarCode:"",
id:1, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "BATH", SubLocCode: "BAT", BarCode: "",
id:3, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "ANR190", SubLocCode: "B1", BarCode: ""]

console.log([
...new Map(test.map(item => [item.id, item])).values()
])





when i tried this it is throwing "Argument of type 'any' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Iterable<[, ]>'" error

id:3, PlaceRef: "*00011", Component: "ANR190", SubLocCode: "B1", BarCode: ""];


var uniqArray = Array.from(new Map(test.map(e=>[e.id, e])).values());
console.log(uniqArray)



Using lodash utility library. you can achieve this.
let result = _.uniqBy(test, 'id');

Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12...

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
