Removing repetitions from Array using the class Set

I was watching a course on Udemy and I figure out a very cool way of removing eventual repetitions of elements of an array.

It is the combination of the class Set with the Spread Operator.

Set

Allows storage of unique values of any type.

Example of a set:

const set = new Set([1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5])
console.log(set) // Set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Spread operator

It will serve to spread the elements of the resulting Set.

Example of how the spread operator works:

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

const c = [...a, ...b]
console.log(c) // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Combining both

Now, we can combine both and remove the repetitions:

const initial = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 8, 8]
const set = new Set(initial)
const final = [...set]

console.log(final) // [1, 2, 3, 4, 8]
