JavaScript: Remove duplicates of objects sharing same property value

by

This function removes duplicate values from an array by returning a new one.

function removeDuplicatesBy(keyFn, array) {
    var mySet = new Set();
    return array.filter(function(x) {
        var key = keyFn(x), isNew = !mySet.has(key);
        if (isNew) mySet.add(key);
        return isNew;
    });
}

var values = [{color: "red"}, {color: "blue"}, {color: "red", number: 2}];
var withoutDuplicates = removeDuplicatesBy(x => x.color, values);
console.log(withoutDuplicates); // [{"color": "red"}, {"color": "blue"}]

So you could use it like

var arr = removeDuplicatesBy(x => x.custom.price, yourArrayWithDuplicates);
