I am creating an array of objects, and I need to prevent entering the profile with the same name in array, but at the end I always get duplicated values:
let profileObject = {};
data.forEach(function (profile, index, array) {
profileObject = {
id: profile.id.S,
name: profile.name.S
};
});
Result will be:
profiles: [
{ id: '1', name: 'prof1' },
{ id: '1', name: 'prof1' },
{ id: '1', name: 'prof1' },
{ id: '2', name: 'prof2' },
{ id: '2', name: 'prof2' },
{ id: '2', name: 'prof2' }
]
But what I need is:
profiles: [
{ id: '1', name: 'prof1' },
{ id: '2', name: 'prof2' }
]
What I have tried is to check if the name is the same in forEach:
if (profile.name.S === profileObject.name) return;
Or
if (profileObject.includes(profile.name.S)) return;
But I just get the same result. I am new to javascript and cannot wrap my head around it.
