| 3 | ### Tiny utility to create unions and de-duplicated lists.
|
---|
| 4 |
|
---|
| 5 | Example:
|
---|
| 6 |
|
---|
| 7 | ```js
|
---|
| 8 | var uniqs = require('uniqs');
|
---|
| 9 |
|
---|
| 10 | var foo = { foo: 23 };
|
---|
| 11 | var list = [3, 2, 2, 1, foo, foo];
|
---|
| 12 |
|
---|
| 13 | uniqs(list);
|
---|
| 14 | // => [3, 2, 1, { foo: 23 }]
|
---|
| 15 | ```
|
---|
| 16 |
|
---|
| 17 | You can pass multiple lists to create a union:
|
---|
| 18 |
|
---|
| 19 | ```js
|
---|
| 20 | uniqs([2, 1, 1], [2, 3, 3, 4], [4, 3, 2]);
|
---|
| 21 | // => [2, 1, 3, 4]
|
---|
| 22 | ```
|
---|
| 23 |
|
---|
| 24 | Passing individual items works too:
|
---|
| 25 | ```js
|
---|
| 26 | uniqs(3, 2, 2, [1, 1, 2]);
|
---|
| 27 | // => [3, 2, 1]
|
---|
| 28 | ```
|
---|
| 29 |
|
---|
| 30 | ### Summary
|
---|
| 31 |
|
---|
| 32 | * Uniqueness is defined based on strict object equality.
|
---|
| 33 | * The lists do not need to be sorted.
|
---|
| 34 | * The resulting array contains the items in the order of their first appearance.
|
---|

| 36 | ### About
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
| 38 | This package has been written to accompany utilities like
|
---|
| 39 | [flatten](https://npmjs.org/package/flatten) as alternative to full-blown
|
---|
| 40 | libraries like underscore or lodash.
|
---|
| 41 |
|
---|
| 42 | The implementation is optimized for simplicity rather than performance and
|
---|
| 43 | looks like this:
|
---|
| 44 |
|
---|
| 45 | ```js
|
---|
| 46 | module.exports = function uniqs() {
|
---|
| 47 | var list = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], arguments);
|
---|
| 48 | return list.filter(function(item, i) {
|
---|
| 49 | return i == list.indexOf(item);
|
---|
| 50 | });
|
---|
| 51 | };
|
---|
| 52 | ```
