How to Find Unique Values in Array with JavaScript

To find all unique values in an array, you can follow these steps in JavaScript:

  1. Create a Set from the given array to discard duplicated values.
  2. Use the spread operator (...) to convert the Set back to an array.

Here's an example code snippet:

const getUniqueValues = (arr) => [...new Set(arr)];

You can call the function and pass an array to it, like this:

getUniqueValues([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5]); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

This will return an array with all the unique values from the original array, without any duplicates.
