let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2];
arr.filter((e, i, arr) => arr.indexOf(e) == i);

let arr = [{x:10, y: 20}, {x:10, y: 30}, {x:10, y: 20}]; // each element has x and y props
arr.filter((e, i, arr) => arr.findIndex(e2 => Object.keys(e2).every(prop => e2[prop] == e[prop])) == i);

I find this reads a little bit better if you stash your reducer function in a named variable.

const duplicates = (e, i, arr) => arr.indexOf(e) === i

let arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2];
arr.filter(duplicates);

Array.prototype.uniq = function(key) {
  return key
    ? this.map(e => e[key])
        .map((e, i, final) => final.indexOf(e) === i && i)
        .filter(e => this[e])
        .map(e => this[e])
    : [...new Set(this)];
}

In Typescript

export const dedupeByProperty =
  <T>(arr: ReadonlyArray<T>, objKey: keyof T) =>
    arr.reduce<ReadonlyArray<T>>((acc, curr) =>
      acc.some(a => a[objKey] === curr[objKey])
        ? acc
        : [...acc, curr], [])

const uniq = elements.reduce((acc, value) => acc.some(i => i.id === value.id) ? acc : acc.concat(value), []); // id your uniq key

const deduplicateArrays = ( arr1, arr2 = [] ) => [
...new Set([
           ...arr1.map(i => JSON.stringify(i)),
           ...arr2.map(i => JSON.stringify(i))
          ])
].map(i => JSON.parse(i))

Hi @gevera
Beware of problems when using JSON.stringify and JSON.parse with:

Being bitten more than once... 🤕
