How to count duplicate value in an array in javascript

Question

Currently, I got an array like that:

var uniqueCount = Array();

After a few steps, my array looks like that:

uniqueCount =          


        

Answer 1

uniqueCount = ["a","b","a","c","b","a","d","b","c","f","g","h","h","h","e","a"];
var count = {};
uniqueCount.forEach((i) => { count[i] = ++count[i]|| 1});
console.log(count);

Answer 2

Nobody responding seems to be using the Map() built-in for this, which tends to be my go-to combined with Array.prototype.reduce():

const data = ['a','b','c','d','d','e','a','b','c','f','g','h','h','h','e','a'];
const result = data.reduce((a, c) => a.set(c, (a.get(c) || 0) + 1), new Map());
console.log(...result);

N.b., you'll have to polyfill Map() if wanting to use it in older browsers.

Answer 3

simplified sheet.js answare

var counts = {};
var aarr=['a','b','a'];
aarr.forEach(x=>counts[x]=(counts[x] || 0)+1 );
console.log(counts)

Answer 4

By using array.map we can reduce the loop, see this on jsfiddle

function Check(){
    var arr = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    var result = [];
    for(i=0; i< arr.length; i++){
        var duplicate = 0;
        var val = arr[i];
        arr.map(function(x){
            if(val === x) duplicate++;
        })
        result.push(duplicate>= 2);
    }
    return result;
}

To Test:

var test = new Check(1,2,1,4,1);
console.log(test);

Usage:

wrap.common.getUniqueDataCount(, columnName);

CODE:

function getUniqueDataCount(objArr, propName) {
        var data = [];
        objArr.forEach(function (d, index) {
            if (d[propName]) {
                data.push(d[propName]);
            }
        });

        var uniqueList = [...new Set(data)];

        var dataSet = {};
        for (var i=0; i < uniqueList.length; i++) {
            dataSet[uniqueList[i]] = data.filter(x => x == uniqueList[i]).length;
        }
        
        return dataSet;
    }

Snippet

var data= [
          {a:'you',b:'b',c:'c',d:'c'},
          {a: 'you', b: 'b', c: 'c', d:'c'},
          {a: 'them', b: 'b', c: 'c', d:'c'},
          {a: 'them', b: 'b', c: 'c', d:'c'},
          {a: 'okay', b: 'b', c: 'c', d:'c'},
          {a: 'okay', b: 'b', c: 'c', d:'c'},
          ];
          
  console.log(getUniqueDataCount(data, 'a'));       
  
  function getUniqueDataCount(objArr, propName) {
        var data = [];
        objArr.forEach(function (d, index) {
            if (d[propName]) {
                data.push(d[propName]);
            }
        });

        var uniqueList = [...new Set(data)];

        var dataSet = {};
        for (var i=0; i < uniqueList.length; i++) {
            dataSet[uniqueList[i]] = data.filter(x => x == uniqueList[i]).length;
        }

        return dataSet;
    }

Answer 6

var arr = ['a','d','r','a','a','f','d'];  

//call function and pass your array, function will return an object with array values as keys and their count as the key values.
duplicatesArr(arr);

function duplicatesArr(arr){
    var obj = {}
    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
        obj[arr[i]] = [];
        for(var x = 0; x < arr.length; x++){
            (arr[i] == arr[x]) ? obj[arr[i]].push(x) : '';
        }
        obj[arr[i]] = obj[arr[i]].length;
    }

    console.log(obj);
    return obj;
}
