Take a specif field from an Array of Object and remove the duplicated ones

Question

suppose with we have an array of objects like this: array = [{side:1, value:2}, {side:1, value:3}, {side:2, value:4}, {side:2, value: 4}, {side:3, value:3}] I want to create an array which contains only the side attibute without duplications like this: sideArray = [1,2,3]. These are the values of the side. How to do this?

You can use map() method to return array with side values and then Set and spread syntax to remove duplicates.

var array = [{side:1, value:2}, {side:1, value:3}, {side:2, value:4}, {side:2, value: 4}, {side:3, value:3}]

var result = [...new Set(array.map(e => e.side))];
console.log(result)
