2 | ====
|
---|
3 | Removes all duplicates from an array in place.
|

|
---|
5 | Usage
|
---|
6 | =====
|
---|
7 | First install using npm:
|
---|
8 |
|
---|
9 | npm install uniq
|
---|
10 |
|
---|
11 | Then use it as follows:
|
---|
12 |
|
---|
13 | ```javascript
|
---|
14 |
|
---|
15 | var arr = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5]
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | require("uniq")(arr)
|
---|
18 | console.log(arr)
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | //Prints:
|
---|
21 | //
|
---|
22 | // 1,2,3,5
|
---|
23 | //
|
---|
24 | ```

26 | ## `require("uniq")(array[, compare, sorted])`
|
---|
27 | Removes all duplicates from a sorted array in place.
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | * `array` is the array to remove items from
|
---|
30 | * `compare` is an optional comparison function that returns 0 when two items are equal, and something non-zero when they are different. If unspecified, then the default equals will be used.
|
---|
31 | * `sorted` if true, then assume array is already sorted
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | **Returns:** A reference to `array`
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | **Time Complexity:** `O(array.length * log(arra.length))` or `O(array.length)` if `sorted`
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 |
|
---|
38 | ## Why use this instead of underscore.uniq[ue]?
|
---|
39 | A few reasons:
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | * This library updates the array in place without making an extra copy (and so it is faster for large arrays)
|
---|
42 | * It also accepts a custom comparison function so you can remove duplicates from arrays containing object
|
---|
43 | * It is more modular in the sense that it doesn't come with a bazillion other utility grab bag functions.
