Lodash _.uniqBy method is similar to _.uniq except that it accepts iteratee which is invoked for each element in an array to generate the criterion by which uniqueness is computed. The order of result values is determined by the order they occur in the array.
Syntax:
_.uniqBy([array], [iteratee = _.identity])
Parameters:
- [arrays]: This parameter holds the arrays to inspect.
- [iteratee=_.identity]: This parameter holds the iteratee invoked per element.
Return Value:
This method is used to return the new duplicate free array.
Example:
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require( "lodash" );
// Original array let y = ([2.4, 1.6, 2.2, 1.3]); // Use of _.uniqBy() // method let gfg = _.uniqBy(y, Math.floor); // Printing the output console.log(gfg); |
Output:
[2.4, 1.6 ]
Example 2:
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require( "lodash" );
// Original array let y = ([{ 'x' : 2 }, { 'x' : 2 }, { 'x' : 1 }]);
// Use of _.uniqBy() // method // The `_.property` iteratee shorthand. let gfg = _.uniqBy(y, 'x' );
// Printing the output console.log(gfg); |
Output:
[ { 'x': 2 }, { 'x': 1 } ]
Example 3:
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require( "lodash" );
// Original array let y = ([ 'aee' , 'bee' , 'bee' , 'cee' , 'eee' ,
'dee' , 'gee' , 'dee' ]);
// Use of _.uniqBy() // method // The `_.property` iteratee shorthand. let gfg = _.uniqBy(y); // Printing the output console.log(gfg); |
Output:
[ 'aee', 'bee', 'cee', 'eee', 'dee', 'gee' ]
