### Tiny utility to create unions and de-duplicated lists.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var uniqs = require('uniqs');
|
|
|
|
var foo = { foo: 23 };
|
|
var list = [3, 2, 2, 1, foo, foo];
|
|
|
|
uniqs(list);
|
|
// => [3, 2, 1, { foo: 23 }]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can pass multiple lists to create a union:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
uniqs([2, 1, 1], [2, 3, 3, 4], [4, 3, 2]);
|
|
// => [2, 1, 3, 4]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Passing individual items works too:
|
|
```js
|
|
uniqs(3, 2, 2, [1, 1, 2]);
|
|
// => [3, 2, 1]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Summary
|
|
|
|
* Uniqueness is defined based on strict object equality.
|
|
* The lists do not need to be sorted.
|
|
* The resulting array contains the items in the order of their first appearance.

### About
|
|
|
|
This package has been written to accompany utilities like
|
|
[flatten](https://npmjs.org/package/flatten) as alternative to full-blown
|
|
libraries like underscore or lodash.
|
|
|
|
The implementation is optimized for simplicity rather than performance and
|
|
looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
module.exports = function uniqs() {
|
|
var list = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], arguments);
|
|
return list.filter(function(item, i) {
|
|
return i == list.indexOf(item);
|
|
});
|
|
};
|
|
```
