I'm being a JavaScript dev at the moment, which is... interesting. My JS ain't bad, but I need to spend a lot of time with my nose in Google / StackOverflow / MDN.
Here's something that I feel should be easier than I've made it:
// dedupe.js
abbccc = ["a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c"];
abc = Object.keys(abbccc.reduce(function(obj, key){
obj[key]=true;
return obj;
},{}));
console.log(abc); // ["a", "b", "c"]
I've had a google around and the "best" I've found is this answer on StackOverflow: "Remove Duplicates from JavaScript Array", but that all seems to be more complicated still.
How'd you go about it?
Update:
My colleague Amar came up with this one:abc = abbccc.filter(function(elem, pos) {
return abbccc.indexOf(elem) == pos;
});
Thats' quite a nice solution.
