I am not sure how to use this to remove duplicate arrays from the main array. so consider the following:
var arr = [
[0, 1],
[0, 1],
[2, 1],
];
The resulting array should look like:
var arr = [
[0, 1],
[2, 1],
];
The documentation makes sense for a single array of elements but not a 2d array.
Ideas?
The array to be turned unique might have:
var arr = [
[0, 1]
[0, 2]
[0, 3]
[0, 1]
[2, 1]
]
the array in side the array should have all value compared, so in the above example, it should spit out:
var arr = [
[0, 1]
[0, 2]
[0, 3]
[2, 1]
]
The duplicate being [0, 1]
The easiest way would probably be to use uniq
method and then convert the inner arrays to some string representation, JSON.stringify
should be good enough solution.
var arr = [[0, 1], [0, 2], [0, 3], [0, 1], [2, 1]]
_.uniq(arr, function(item) {
return JSON.stringify(item);
});
// [[0,1], [0,2], [0,3], [2,1]]
