To remove duplicate elements from a JavaScript array, you can use the `Array.prototype.filter()` method in combination with the `indexOf()` method.
Here is an example:
function removeDuplicates(arr) {
return arr.filter((item, index) => arr.indexOf(item) === index);
}
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5];
const uniqueNumbers = removeDuplicates(numbers);
console.log(uniqueNumbers); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
This function first uses the `filter()` method to iterate over the array and keep only those elements for which the `indexOf()` method returns the same value as the current index. The `indexOf()` method returns the first index at which a given element can be found in the array, or -1 if it is not present. Therefore, by using this method, we can filter out all duplicates, because they will have a different index than the original element.
Note: this method only works for arrays containing primitive data types (such as numbers or strings). If the array contains objects, you will need to use a different approach to remove duplicates, such as creating a new array and adding only those objects that are not already present in the array.
