如果你想保持秩序，那么就用这个

let fruits = ["apple", "pear", "pear", "banana", "apple"] 
let orderedNoDuplicates = Array(NSOrderedSet(array: fruits).map({ $0 as! String }))

让我提出一个类似于斯科特·加德纳的答案，但使用了更简洁的reduce语法。 此解决方案从自定义对象数组中删除重复项(保持初始顺序)

// Custom Struct. Can be also class. 
// Need to be `equitable` in order to use `contains` method below
struct CustomStruct : Equatable {
      let name: String
      let lastName : String
    }

// conform to Equatable protocol. feel free to change the logic of "equality"
func ==(lhs: CustomStruct, rhs: CustomStruct) -> Bool {
  return (lhs.name == rhs.name && lhs.lastName == rhs.lastName)
}

let categories = [CustomStruct(name: "name1", lastName: "lastName1"),
                  CustomStruct(name: "name2", lastName: "lastName1"),
                  CustomStruct(name: "name1", lastName: "lastName1")]
print(categories.count) // prints 3

// remove duplicates (and keep initial order of elements)
let uniq1 : [CustomStruct] = categories.reduce([]) { $0.contains($1) ? $0 : $0 + [$1] }
print(uniq1.count) // prints 2 - third element has removed

如果你想知道这个约简魔法是如何工作的，这里是完全相同的，只是使用了更扩展的约简语法

let uniq2 : [CustomStruct] = categories.reduce([]) { (result, category) in
  var newResult = result
  if (newResult.contains(category)) {}
  else {
    newResult.append(category)
  }
  return newResult
}
uniq2.count // prints 2 - third element has removed

你可以简单地复制粘贴这段代码到Swift Playground中。

你可以自己卷，比如这样:

func unique<S : Sequence, T : Hashable>(source: S) -> [T] where S.Iterator.Element == T {
    var buffer = [T]()
    var added = Set<T>()
    for elem in source {
        if !added.contains(elem) {
            buffer.append(elem)
            added.insert(elem)
        }
    }
    return buffer
}

let vals = [1, 4, 2, 2, 6, 24, 15, 2, 60, 15, 6]
let uniqueVals = uniq(vals) // [1, 4, 2, 6, 24, 15, 60]

作为Array的扩展:

extension Array where Element: Hashable {
    func uniqued() -> Array {
        var buffer = Array()
        var added = Set<Element>()
        for elem in self {
            if !added.contains(elem) {
                buffer.append(elem)
                added.insert(elem)
            }
        }
        return buffer
    }
}

或者更优雅一点(Swift 4/5):

extension Sequence where Element: Hashable {
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        var set = Set<Element>()
        return filter { set.insert($0).inserted }
    }
}

将被使用:

[1,2,4,2,1].uniqued()  // => [1,2,4]

这里有一个解决方案

不使用传统NS类型 对于O(n)来说是相当快的 简洁 保持元素顺序

extension Array where Element: Hashable {

    var uniqueValues: [Element] {
        var allowed = Set(self)
        return compactMap { allowed.remove($0) }
    }
}

现在不需要写扩展了。

Apple终于在其算法包中引入了unique()方法，可以在符合Sequence协议的任何类型上使用。

import Algorithms

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1]
print(numbers.uniqued()) // prints [1, 2, 3]

斯威夫特4

public extension Array where Element: Hashable {
    func uniqued() -> [Element] {
        var seen = Set<Element>()
        return filter{ seen.insert($0).inserted }
    }
}

每次尝试插入也将返回一个元组:(插入:Bool, memberAfterInsert: Set.Element)。见文档。

使用返回值意味着我们可以避免进行多个循环，因此这是O(n)。
