| # array-unique [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/array-unique) [](https://npmjs.org/package/array-unique) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/array-unique) |
| |
| Remove duplicate values from an array. Fastest ES5 implementation. |
| |
| ## Install |
| |
| Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): |
| |
| ```sh |
| $ npm install --save array-unique |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```js |
| var unique = require('array-unique'); |
| |
| var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c']; |
| console.log(unique(arr)) //=> ['a', 'b', 'c'] |
| console.log(arr) //=> ['a', 'b', 'c'] |
| |
| /* The above modifies the input array. To prevent that at a slight performance cost: */ |
| var unique = require("array-unique").immutable; |
| |
| var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c']; |
| console.log(unique(arr)) //=> ['a', 'b', 'c'] |
| console.log(arr) //=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c'] |
| ``` |
