How can i ignore duplicate values in if statement?

Question

var availableMarketGroups = {};

angular.forEach(function (market) {

  if (availableMarketGroups[market.group_id]) { // market.group_id is not sorted id
       availableMarketGroups[market.group_id].count++;
  }  
});

market.group_id - number ,not sorted, and sometimes its duplicates availableMarketGroups[market.group_id].count - its length

Lets see the image for more info.

The numbers of the market groups don't represent real amount of markets.

availableMarketGroups[market.group_id].count show - 15 ,but in real it should be 5 (5 groups) ,because market.group_id is duplicates.

How can i ignore duplicated market.group_id values in if statement ?

var availableMarketGroups = {};
var groupsProcessed = [];

angular.forEach(availableMarketGroups, function(marketGroup) {
    if (groupsProcessed.indexOf(marketGroup.group_id) < 0) {
        groupsProcessed.push(marketGroup.group_id);
        availableMarketGroups[market.group_id].count++;
    }
});

Answer for counting unique array elements is to make a function as given below.

var counts = {};
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    counts[arr[i]] = 1 + (counts[arr[i]] || 0);
}

It will return the unique counts of elements in the array.

Hard to say without your data. Generally speaking, you should be able to reduce this down to the unique Set of group_ids:

const uniqueGroups = markets.reduce(function(set, market) {
  if (!set.has(market.group_id)) {
    set.add(market.group_id);
  }
  return set;
}, new Set());

console.log('Unique group count: ', uniqueGroups.size);

You can use underscore:

var newObj = _.uniq(market, function(p){ return p.group_id; });
