How to convert a Set to an Array? – JavaScript

When you remove the duplicate numbers from an array with new Set() method, it turns into a set instead of an array like this

let duplicates = [1,2,3,4,5,6,2];

// remove the duplicates

let noDuplicates = new Set(duplicates);

// output Set {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Duplicates may happen by posting/collecting same value from one/different sources, or by concat() arrays.

And you can convert that set to an array again.

Solution 1:

let duplicates = [1,2,3,4,5,6,2];

// remove the duplicates

let noDuplicates = new Set(duplicates);

// output {1,2,3,4,5,6}

let arrayWithNoDuplicates = Array.from(noDuplicates);

// output [1,2,3,4,5,6]


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Solution 2:


let duplicates = [1,2,3,4,5,6,2];

// remove the duplicates

let noDuplicates = new Set(duplicates);

// output {1,2,3,4,5,6}

let arrayWithNoDuplicates = [...noDupicates];

// output [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Solution 3:

let duplicates = [1,2,3,4,5,6,2];

let noDuplicates = Array.from(new Set(duplicates))

// output [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Solution 4:

let duplicates = [1,2,3,4,5,6,2];

let noDuplicates = [... new Set(duplicates)];

// output [1,2,3,4,5,6]

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Apply

let a = [1,2,3,4];
let b = [5,6,2];

let c = a.concat(b);
let d = new Set(c);
let e = Array.from(d);

// or in one line

let f = Array.from(new Set(a.concat(b)));

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
