Why isn't lodash's _.unique returning uniq

问题:

I'm using lodash's _.unique and it's not working as expected. I'm doing this:

uniqueByFocusIndex = _.unique(clickables, false, "focusIndex");

And as you can see in the image (look at the right), it's returning two elements with the same values for their focusIndexes. I'd expect this to return one of the two, not both. Is it because _.unique only works on primitives and not objects?

回答1:

It doesn't work because comparing objects is done by reference and returns false even if the objects' contents are the same.

Using a string for the callback will check those values using the pluck callback style, but comparison of those objects you have under that key will always be false.

I tried to find a way to do this with some other callback, but I think you would be better off just writing your own uniq function that fits your purposes.



回答2:

_.uniqWith is what u might need so that u can do comparison using _.isEqual

_.uniqWith(clickables, _.isEqual)

It is suggested in the docs
