Lodash _.sortedUniqBy() Method

The _.sortedUniqBy method is used to return the lowest index of the array where an element can be inserted and maintain its sorted order. Also, this method is like _.uniqBy except that it’s designed and optimized for sorted arrays.

Syntax:

_.sortedUniqBy(array, [iteratee])

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • array: This parameter holds the array to inspect.
  • [iteratee=_.identity] (Function): This parameter holds the iteratee invoked per element.

Return Value: This method is used to returns the new duplicate free array.

Example 1: Here, const _ = require(‘lodash’) is used to import the lodash library into the file.

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
      
// Original array 
let y = ([1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 3.5])
      
// Use of _.sortedUniqBy() 
// method 
let index =  _.sortedUniqBy(y, Math.floor); 
      
// Printing the output 
console.log(index);


Output:

[1.1, 2.1, 3.5]

Example 2:

javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash"); 
      
// Original array 
let y = ([112.1, 112.2, 122.1, 122.3, 122.4, 132.5])
      
// Use of _.sortedUniqBy() 
// method 
let index =  _.sortedUniqBy(y, Math.floor); 
      
// Printing the output 
console.log(index);


Output:

[112.1, 112.1, 132.5]

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
