javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash's uniq() function to remove duplicate values from a JavaScript array?

The uniq() function from Lodash is a helpful tool for removing duplicate values from a JavaScript array. To use it, you first need to import the function from Lodash into your project:

import uniq from 'lodash.uniq';

Then, you can call the function on the array you want to filter:

const myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2];
const filteredArray = uniq(myArray);

console.log(filteredArray); // [1, 2, 3, 4]

The uniq() function will take the array as an argument and return a new array with only the unique values from the original array. In the example above, myArray contains two duplicate values (1 and 2), and filteredArray is an array containing only the unique values (1, 2, 3, and 4).

It's important to note that uniq() uses a shallow comparison for determining uniqueness, so objects with the same values will not be filtered out. If you need to filter out objects as well, you can use uniqBy() instead.

Code explanation

• import uniq from 'lodash.uniq'; – imports the uniq() function from Lodash into the project.
• const myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2]; – creates an array with duplicate values.
• const filteredArray = uniq(myArray); – calls the uniq() function on the array and stores the result in a new variable.
• console.log(filteredArray); – logs the filtered array to the console.

For more information about the uniq() function, check out the Lodash documentation.
