jQuery unique() function is used to sort an array of DOM elements, in place, with the duplicates removed. Note that this only works on arrays of DOM elements, not strings or numbers.
Syntax
jQuery.unique( array )
array - The Array of DOM elements.
Example
Removes any duplicate elements from the array of divs.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery.unique demo</title>
<style>
div {
color: blue;
}
</style>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>There are 6 divs in this document.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="dup"></div>
<div class="dup"></div>
<div class="dup"></div>
<div></div>
<script>
// unique() must take a native array
var divs = $("div").get();
// Add 3 elements of class dup too (they are divs)
divs = divs.concat($(".dup").get());
$("div").eq(1).text("Pre-unique there are " + divs.length + " elements.");
divs = jQuery.unique(divs);
$("div").eq(2).text("Post-unique there are " + divs.length + " elements.")
.css("color", "red");
</script>
</body>
</html>
