extension Sequence where Element: Hashable {
    func unique() -> [Element] {
        NSOrderedSet(array: self as! [Any]).array as! [Element]
    }
}

下面是SequenceType上的一个类别，它保留了数组的原始顺序，但使用Set来进行contains查找，以避免数组的contains(_:)方法上的O(n)代价。

public extension Sequence where Element: Hashable {

    /// Return the sequence with all duplicates removed.
    ///
    /// i.e. `[ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 ].uniqued() == [ 1, 2, 3 ]`
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234, as 
    ///         per @Alexander's comment.
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        var seen = Set<Element>()
        return self.filter { seen.insert($0).inserted }
    }
}

如果你不是Hashable或Equatable，你可以传入一个谓词来进行相等性检查:

extension Sequence {

    /// Return the sequence with all duplicates removed.
    ///
    /// Duplicate, in this case, is defined as returning `true` from `comparator`.
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    func uniqued(comparator: @escaping (Element, Element) throws -> Bool) rethrows -> [Element] {
        var buffer: [Element] = []

        for element in self {
            // If element is already in buffer, skip to the next element
            if try buffer.contains(where: { try comparator(element, $0) }) {
                continue
            }

            buffer.append(element)
        }

        return buffer
    }
}

现在，如果你没有Hashable，但是是Equatable，你可以使用这个方法:

extension Sequence where Element: Equatable {

    /// Return the sequence with all duplicates removed.
    ///
    /// i.e. `[ 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 ].uniqued() == [ 1, 2, 3 ]`
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        return self.uniqued(comparator: ==)
    }
}

最后，你可以添加一个unique的关键路径版本，如下所示:

extension Sequence {

    /// Returns the sequence with duplicate elements removed, performing the comparison using the property at
    /// the supplied keypath.
    ///
    /// i.e.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value: "Hello"),
    ///   MyStruct(value: "Hello"),
    ///   MyStruct(value: "World")
    ///  ].uniqued(\.value)
    /// ```
    /// would result in
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value: "Hello"),
    ///   MyStruct(value: "World")
    /// ]
    /// ```
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    ///
    func uniqued<T: Equatable>(_ keyPath: KeyPath<Element, T>) -> [Element] {
        self.uniqued { $0[keyPath: keyPath] == $1[keyPath: keyPath] }
    }
}

你可以把这两个都放在你的应用程序中，Swift会根据你的序列的迭代器选择正确的一个。元素类型。

对于El Capitan，您可以扩展此方法以包括多个键盘，如下所示:

    /// Returns the sequence with duplicate elements removed, performing the comparison using the property at
    /// the supplied keypaths.
    ///
    /// i.e.
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Paula"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Paula"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Bean"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "World", value2: "Sigh")
    ///  ].uniqued(\.value1, \.value2)
    /// ```
    /// would result in
    ///
    /// ```
    /// [
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Paula"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "Hello", value2: "Bean"),
    ///   MyStruct(value1: "World", value2: "Sigh")
    /// ]
    /// ```
    ///
    /// - note: Taken from stackoverflow.com/a/46354989/3141234
    ///
    func uniqued<T: Equatable, U: Equatable>(_ keyPath1: KeyPath<Element, T>, _ keyPath2: KeyPath<Element, U>) -> [Element] {
        self.uniqued {
            $0[keyPath: keyPath1] == $1[keyPath: keyPath1] && $0[keyPath: keyPath2] == $1[keyPath: keyPath2]
        }
    }

但是(恕我直言)你最好把你自己的block传递给self.unique。

这里我对对象做了O(n)解。不是少行解决方案，而是……

struct DistinctWrapper <T>: Hashable {
    var underlyingObject: T
    var distinctAttribute: String
    var hashValue: Int {
        return distinctAttribute.hashValue
    }
}
func distinct<S : SequenceType, T where S.Generator.Element == T>(source: S,
                                                                distinctAttribute: (T) -> String,
                                                                resolution: (T, T) -> T) -> [T] {
    let wrappers: [DistinctWrapper<T>] = source.map({
        return DistinctWrapper(underlyingObject: $0, distinctAttribute: distinctAttribute($0))
    })
    var added = Set<DistinctWrapper<T>>()
    for wrapper in wrappers {
        if let indexOfExisting = added.indexOf(wrapper) {
            let old = added[indexOfExisting]
            let winner = resolution(old.underlyingObject, wrapper.underlyingObject)
            added.insert(DistinctWrapper(underlyingObject: winner, distinctAttribute: distinctAttribute(winner)))
        } else {
            added.insert(wrapper)
        }
    }
    return Array(added).map( { return $0.underlyingObject } )
}
func == <T>(lhs: DistinctWrapper<T>, rhs: DistinctWrapper<T>) -> Bool {
    return lhs.hashValue == rhs.hashValue
}

// tests
// case : perhaps we want to get distinct addressbook list which may contain duplicated contacts like Irma and Irma Burgess with same phone numbers
// solution : definitely we want to exclude Irma and keep Irma Burgess
class Person {
    var name: String
    var phoneNumber: String
    init(_ name: String, _ phoneNumber: String) {
        self.name = name
        self.phoneNumber = phoneNumber
    }
}

let persons: [Person] = [Person("Irma Burgess", "11-22-33"), Person("Lester Davidson", "44-66-22"), Person("Irma", "11-22-33")]
let distinctPersons = distinct(persons,
    distinctAttribute: { (person: Person) -> String in
        return person.phoneNumber
    },
    resolution:
    { (p1, p2) -> Person in
        return p1.name.characters.count > p2.name.characters.count ? p1 : p2
    }
)
// distinctPersons contains ("Irma Burgess", "11-22-33") and ("Lester Davidson", "44-66-22")

我认为这是更好的理解逻辑的方法

var arrayOfInts = [2, 2, 4, 4]
var mainArray = [Int]()

for value in arrayOfInts {

if mainArray.contains(value) != true  {
    
    mainArray.append(value)
    print("mainArray:\(mainArray)")
}}

在Swift 5中

 var array: [String] =  ["Aman", "Sumit", "Aman", "Sumit", "Mohan", "Mohan", "Amit"]

 let uniq = Array(Set(array))
 print(uniq)

输出将是

 ["Sumit", "Mohan", "Amit", "Aman"]

对于元素既不是哈希也不是可比的数组(例如复杂对象，字典或结构)，这个扩展提供了一种通用的方法来删除重复:

extension Array
{
   func filterDuplicate<T:Hashable>(_ keyValue:(Element)->T) -> [Element]
   {
      var uniqueKeys = Set<T>()
      return filter{uniqueKeys.insert(keyValue($0)).inserted}
   }

   func filterDuplicate<T>(_ keyValue:(Element)->T) -> [Element]
   { 
      return filterDuplicate{"\(keyValue($0))"}
   }
}

// example usage: (for a unique combination of attributes):

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ ($0.name, $0.age, $0.sex) }

or...

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ "\(($0.name, $0.age, $0.sex))" }

您不必为使值可哈希而烦恼，它允许您使用不同的字段组合来实现惟一性。

注:对于更健壮的方法，请参阅下面评论中Coeur提出的解决方案。

Swift 4的替代方案

在Swift 4.2中，你可以更容易地使用hash类来构建散列。上面的扩展可以改变，以利用这一点:

extension Array
{
    func filterDuplicate(_ keyValue:((AnyHashable...)->AnyHashable,Element)->AnyHashable) -> [Element]
    {
        func makeHash(_ params:AnyHashable ...) -> AnyHashable
        { 
           var hash = Hasher()
           params.forEach{ hash.combine($0) }
           return hash.finalize()
        }  
        var uniqueKeys = Set<AnyHashable>()
        return filter{uniqueKeys.insert(keyValue(makeHash,$0)).inserted}     
    }
}

调用语法略有不同，因为闭包接收了一个额外的参数，其中包含一个函数，用于散列可变数量的值(这些值必须是单独可散列的)

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ $0($1.name, $1.age, $1.sex) } 

它也可以使用单一唯一性值(使用$1而忽略$0)。

peopleArray = peopleArray.filterDuplicate{ $1.name }
