How to find duplicate values in a JavaScript array of objects, and output only unique values?

by

You could use a Set in combination with Array#map and a spread operator ... in a single line.

Map returns an array with all names, which are going into the set initializer and then all values of the set are returned in an array.

var family = [{ name: "Mike", age: 10 }, { name: "Matt", age: 13 }, { name: "Nancy", age: 15 }, { name: "Adam", age: 22 }, { name: "Jenny", age: 85 }, { name: "Nancy", age: 2 }, { name: "Carl", age: 40 }],
    unique = [...new Set(family.map(a => a.name))];

console.log(unique);

For filtering and return only unique names, you can use Array#filter with Set.

var family = [{ name: "Mike", age: 10 }, { name: "Matt", age: 13 }, { name: "Nancy", age: 15 }, { name: "Adam", age: 22 }, { name: "Jenny", age: 85 }, { name: "Nancy", age: 2 }, { name: "Carl", age: 40 }],
    unique = family.filter((set => f => !set.has(f.name) && set.add(f.name))(new Set));

console.log(unique);
