Removing duplicate value from list of javascript objects in react js

Question

I have react project and in that have a javascript array of object similar to given below and in that object it has a value called category.

const data = [{
    "id": 1,
    "item": "760",
    "price": "$609.05",
    "category": "BMW"
  }, {
    "id": 2,
    "item": "Frontier",
    "price": "$317.89",
    "category": "Nissan"
  }, {
    "id": 3,
    "item": "Odyssey",
    "price": "$603.64",
    "category": "BMW"
  }]

Im mapping through the list and displaying the category as shown below.

{data.map(item => (<span>{item.category}</span>))}

Here, the category duplicates and display several times when there are several similar items. Considering the given data list, the category BMW display twice.

What I want is, even if there are multiple similar categories, I only want to display once. Is this possible and how can I do it?

Create a set as set only have unique data, you can use something like this, [...new Set(data.map(item => ("<span>" + item.category + "</span>")))] — Ritik Banger

You could add your categories into a Set

const data = [{
    "id": 1,
    "item": "760",
    "price": "$609.05",
    "category": "BMW"
  }, {
    "id": 2,
    "item": "Frontier",
    "price": "$317.89",
    "category": "Nissan"
  }, {
    "id": 3,
    "item": "Odyssey",
    "price": "$603.64",
    "category": "BMW"
  }]
  
let categories = new Set()
data.forEach(entry => {categories.add(entry.category) })
categories.forEach(cat => console.log(cat))

There can be various ways to reach the desired result. I would do it with a Set() and destructuring syntax:

{[...new Set(data.map(item => (<span>{item.category}</span>)))]}

const data = [{
  "id": 1,
  "item": "760",
  "price": "$609.05",
  "category": "BMW"
}, {
  "id": 2,
  "item": "Frontier",
  "price": "$317.89",
  "category": "Nissan"
}, {
  "id": 3,
  "item": "Odyssey",
  "price": "$603.64",
  "category": "BMW"
}]

const newData = [...new Set(data.map(item => ("<span>" + item.category + "</span>")))]

console.log(newData);

you can use {data.find(item => (<span>{item.category}</span>))}. The find() method returns the first element in the provided array that satisfies the provided testing function

You can use the filter

 let array=   data.filter((v,i,a)=>a.findIndex(v2=>(v2.category===v.category))===i)

and

{array.map(item => (<span>{item.category}</span>))}

function getUniqueArrayBy(arr, key) {
   return [...new Map(arr.map(item => [item[key], item])).values()]
}
const filtered = getUniqueArrayBy(data, 'category');
console.log(filtered);

Use native methods .reduce and .map of Array in chain.

const categories = data.reduce((acc, {category}) => {
  if (!acc.includes(category)) { // check if there's not such value in accumulator
    acc.push(category); // adding category
  }
  return acc; // returning value
}, []) // [] is an accumulator value
   .map(category => <span>{category}</span>); // iterating over result

Piece a cake.
