//Array.indexOf was introduced in javascript 1.6 (ECMA-262) 
//We need to implement it explicitly for other browsers, 
if (!Array.prototype.indexOf)
{
  Array.prototype.indexOf = function(elt, from)
  {
    var len = this.length >>> 0;

    for (; from < len; from++)
    {
      if (from in this &&
          this[from] === elt)
        return from;
    }
    return -1;
  };
}
//now, on to the problem

var array1 = ["Vijendra","Singh"];
var array2 = ["Singh", "Shakya"];

var merged = array1.concat(array2);
var t;
for(i = 0; i < merged.length; i++)
  if((t = merged.indexOf(i + 1, merged[i])) != -1)
  {
    merged.splice(t, 1);
    i--;//in case of multiple occurrences
  }

其他浏览器的indexOf方法的实现取自MDC

使用Lodash

我发现@GijsjanB的答案很有用，但我的数组包含具有许多属性的对象，因此我不得不使用其中一个属性来消除它们的重复。

这是我使用lodash的解决方案

userList1 = [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]
userList2 = [{ id: 3 }, { id: 4 }, { id: 5 }]
// id 3 is repeated in both arrays

users = _.unionWith(userList1, userList2, function(a, b){ return a.id == b.id });

// users = [{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }, { id: 4 }, { id: 5 }]

作为第三个参数传递的函数有两个参数（两个元素），如果它们相等，则必须返回true。

为什么不使用对象？看起来你在尝试建立一套模型。然而，这并不能维持秩序。

var set1 = {"Vijendra":true, "Singh":true}
var set2 = {"Singh":true,  "Shakya":true}

// Merge second object into first
function merge(set1, set2){
  for (var key in set2){
    if (set2.hasOwnProperty(key))
      set1[key] = set2[key]
  }
  return set1
}

merge(set1, set2)

// Create set from array
function setify(array){
  var result = {}
  for (var item in array){
    if (array.hasOwnProperty(item))
      result[array[item]] = true
  }
  return result
}

Array.prototype.union = function (other_array) {
/* you can include a test to check whether other_array really is an array */
  other_array.forEach(function(v) { if(this.indexOf(v) === -1) {this.push(v);}}, this);    
}

这是我需要合并（或返回两个数组的并集）时使用的函数。

var union = function (a, b) {
  for (var i = 0; i < b.length; i++)
    if (a.indexOf(b[i]) === -1)
      a.push(b[i]);
  return a;
};

var a = [1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', 'c'];
var b = [2, 3, 4, 'b', 'c', 'd'];

a = union(a, b);
//> [1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c", 4, "d"]

var array1 = ["Vijendra", "Singh"];
var array2 = ["Singh", "Shakya"];

var array3 = union(array1, array2);
//> ["Vijendra", "Singh", "Shakya"]

只需使用Undercore.js的=>uniq即可实现：

array3 = _.uniq(array1.concat(array2))

console.log(array3)

它将印刷[“Vijendra”、“Singh”、“Shakya”]。
