Remove Duplicate objects from JSON Array

I know there are many answers already but the best one that worked for me for a complex json structure is:

var arr = [{ "State": "RWCW", "desc": "WEST", "code": "RWCW", "level": 0, "save": "RWCW : WEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCSW", "desc": "SOUTHWEST", "code": "RCSW", "level": 0, "save": "RCSW : SOUTHWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RECW", "desc": "NORTHEAST", "code": "RECW", "level": 0, "save": "RECW : NORTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RWCW", "desc": "WEST", "code": "RWCW", "level": 0, "save": "RWCW : WEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RWCW", "desc": "WEST", "code": "RWCW", "level": 0, "save": "RWCW : WEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCSW", "desc": "SOUTHWEST", "code": "RCSW", "level": 0, "save": "RCSW : SOUTHWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RECW", "desc": "NORTHEAST", "code": "RECW", "level": 0, "save": "RECW : NORTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RWCW", "desc": "WEST", "code": "RWCW", "level": 0, "save": "RWCW : WEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RECW", "desc": "NORTHEAST", "code": "RECW", "level": 0, "save": "RECW : NORTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RWCW", "desc": "WEST", "code": "RWCW", "level": 0, "save": "RWCW : WEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCSW", "desc": "SOUTHWEST", "code": "RCSW", "level": 0, "save": "RCSW : SOUTHWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RWCW", "desc": "WEST", "code": "RWCW", "level": 0, "save": "RWCW : WEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCNW", "desc": "MIDWEST", "code": "RCNW", "level": 0, "save": "RCNW : MIDWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCSW", "desc": "SOUTHWEST", "code": "RCSW", "level": 0, "save": "RCSW : SOUTHWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RECW", "desc": "NORTHEAST", "code": "RECW", "level": 0, "save": "RECW : NORTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCNW", "desc": "MIDWEST", "code": "RCNW", "level": 0, "save": "RCNW : MIDWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RECW", "desc": "NORTHEAST", "code": "RECW", "level": 0, "save": "RECW : NORTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCNW", "desc": "MIDWEST", "code": "RCNW", "level": 0, "save": "RCNW : MIDWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RCNW", "desc": "MIDWEST", "code": "RCNW", "level": 0, "save": "RCNW : MIDWEST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RSCW", "desc": "SOUTHEAST", "code": "RSCW", "level": 0, "save": "RSCW : SOUTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }, { "State": "RECW", "desc": "NORTHEAST", "code": "RECW", "level": 0, "save": "RECW : NORTHEAST", "attribute1": "", "attribute2": "" }];

var clean = arr.filter((arr, index, self) =>
    index === self.findIndex((t) => (t.save === arr.save && t.State === arr.State)))

console.log(clean);

You can try this directly to chrome browser console and edit according to your need.

I hope this helps someone.


function arrUnique(arr) {
    var cleaned = [];
    arr.forEach(function(itm) {
        var unique = true;
        cleaned.forEach(function(itm2) {
            if (_.isEqual(itm, itm2)) unique = false;
        });
        if (unique)  cleaned.push(itm);
    });
    return cleaned;
}

var standardsList = arrUnique(standardsList);

FIDDLE

This will return

var standardsList = [
    {"Grade": "Math K", "Domain": "Counting & Cardinality"},
    {"Grade": "Math K", "Domain": "Geometry"},
    {"Grade": "Math 1", "Domain": "Counting & Cardinality"},
    {"Grade": "Math 1", "Domain": "Orders of Operation"},
    {"Grade": "Math 2", "Domain": "Geometry"}
];

Which is exactly what you asked for ?
