- uniq
- ====
- Removes all duplicates from an array in place.
-
- Usage
- =====
- First install using npm:
-
- npm install uniq
-
- Then use it as follows:
-
- ```javascript
-
- var arr = [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 5]
-
- require("uniq")(arr)
- console.log(arr)
-
- //Prints:
- //
- // 1,2,3,5
- //
- ```
-
- ## `require("uniq")(array[, compare, sorted])`
- Removes all duplicates from a sorted array in place.
-
- * `array` is the array to remove items from
- * `compare` is an optional comparison function that returns 0 when two items are equal, and something non-zero when they are different. If unspecified, then the default equals will be used.
- * `sorted` if true, then assume array is already sorted
-
- **Returns:** A reference to `array`
-
- **Time Complexity:** `O(array.length * log(arra.length))` or `O(array.length)` if `sorted`
-
-
- ## Why use this instead of underscore.uniq[ue]?
- A few reasons:
-
- * This library updates the array in place without making an extra copy (and so it is faster for large arrays)
- * It also accepts a custom comparison function so you can remove duplicates from arrays containing object
- * It is more modular in the sense that it doesn't come with a bazillion other utility grab bag functions.
