Filtering duplicate hashes from array of hashes - Javascript












9














I have an array of hashes, like this:



[{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735", name: "italy"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c6941735", name: "skandi"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d147941735", name: "diner"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735", name: "italy"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735", name: "resto"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d14a941735", name: "vietnam"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1ce941735", name: "fish"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735", name: "resto"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735", name: "resto"}]


I want to throw out duplicate hashes. Set doesn't work because hashes are unique objects.



I feel stuck and need a kick to think. Please advise!

    Reduce the array to an object, using the id as key, and then convert back to array using Object.values().

  • You would have to loop through the array for each possible hash and check, remove. Or change the data format, use an object with the hash string as a key and the name and whatever else as a separate object for the value

You can use reduce too






//I added comma to each object
const data= [{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735", name: "italy"},
{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c6941735", name: "skandi"},

{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735", name: "resto"},

{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735", name: "resto"}]

const result= data.reduce((current,next)=>{
if(!current.some(a=> a.name === next.name)){
current.push(next);
}
return current;
},)
console.log(result);

    Try this



    h.filter(( t={}, a=>!(t[a.id]=++t[a.id]|0) ))


    Input array in h, time complexity O(n), explanation here.






    let h = [{id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735", name: "italy"},
    {id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c6941735", name: "skandi"},

    {id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735", name: "resto"}]

    let t; // declare t to avoid use global (however works without it too)
    let r= h.filter(( t={}, a=>!(t[a.id]=++t[a.id]|0) ))


    console.log(JSON.stringify(r));

          I would suggest an approach with associative arrays, this makes duplicate removal easier. If you can, you should build your array as an associative array in the first place, so that you don't have to convert it. Here is how you do it:






          var array = [{
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735",
          name: "italy"
          },
          {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c6941735",
          name: "skandi"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d147941735",
          name: "diner"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735",
          name: "italy"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735",
          name: "resto"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d14a941735",
          name: "vietnam"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d14a941735",
          name: "fish"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735",
          name: "resto"
          }, {
          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735",
          name: "resto"
          }
          ];

          // you can access the array with arrayAssociative[id], where the id is the real id like "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735"
          var arrayAssociative = {};
          for (item in array) {
          // first get the unique id's
          var addedNode = arrayAssociative[array[item].id] = arrayAssociative[array[item].id] || {};
          if (addedNode.names == null)
          addedNode.names = {};
          // now get the unique names
          var addedName = arrayAssociative[array[item].id].names[array[item].name] = arrayAssociative[array[item].id].names[array[item].name] || {};
          }
          console.log(arrayAssociative);





          I don't know the exact reason, why the line




          var element = arrayAssociative[id] =arrayAssociative[id] || {};




          works for this, but let's just accept the funcitonality as it is :)

                                          I would suggest an approach with associative arrays, this makes duplicate removal easier. If you can, you should build your array as an associative array in the first place, so that you don't have to convert it. Here is how you do it:






                                          var array = [{
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735",
                                          name: "italy"
                                          },
                                          {
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c6941735",
                                          name: "skandi"
                                          }, {
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d147941735",
                                          name: "diner"
                                          }, {
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735",
                                          name: "italy"
                                          }, {
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c4941735",
                                          name: "resto"
                                          }, {
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d14a941735",
                                          name: "vietnam"

                                          I would suggest an approach with associative arrays, this makes duplicate removal easier. If you can, you should build your array as an associative array in the first place, so that you don't have to convert it. Here is how you do it:






                                          var array = [{
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d110941735",
                                          name: "italy"
                                          },
                                          {
                                          id: "4bf58dd8d48988d1c6941735",
                                          name: "skandi"
                                          }, {

                                          I don't know the exact reason, why the line




                                          var element = arrayAssociative[id] =arrayAssociative[id] || {};




                                          works for this, but let's just accept the funcitonality as it is :)
