包含相等性检查，而插入检查哈希，最安全的检查方式如下:

extension Array where Element: Hashable {

    /// Big O(N) version. Updated since @Adrian's comment. 
    var uniques: Array {
        // Go front to back, add element to buffer if it isn't a repeat.
         var buffer: [Element] = []
         var dictionary: [Element: Int] = [:]
         for element in self where dictionary[element] == nil {
             buffer.append(element)
             dictionary[element] = 1
         }
         return buffer
    }
}

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")

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。

包含相等性检查，而插入检查哈希，最安全的检查方式如下:

extension Array where Element: Hashable {

    /// Big O(N) version. Updated since @Adrian's comment. 
    var uniques: Array {
        // Go front to back, add element to buffer if it isn't a repeat.
         var buffer: [Element] = []
         var dictionary: [Element: Int] = [:]
         for element in self where dictionary[element] == nil {
             buffer.append(element)
             dictionary[element] = 1
         }
         return buffer
    }
}

您总是可以使用Dictionary，因为Dictionary只能保存惟一的值。例如:

var arrayOfDates: NSArray = ["15/04/01","15/04/01","15/04/02","15/04/02","15/04/03","15/04/03","15/04/03"]

var datesOnlyDict = NSMutableDictionary()
var x = Int()

for (x=0;x<(arrayOfDates.count);x++) {
    let date = arrayOfDates[x] as String
    datesOnlyDict.setValue("foo", forKey: date)
}

let uniqueDatesArray: NSArray = datesOnlyDict.allKeys // uniqueDatesArray = ["15/04/01", "15/04/03", "15/04/02"]

println(uniqueDatesArray.count)  // = 3

正如你所看到的，生成的数组并不总是按“顺序”排列。如果你想对数组排序，添加这个:

var sortedArray = sorted(datesOnlyArray) {
(obj1, obj2) in

    let p1 = obj1 as String
    let p2 = obj2 as String
    return p1 < p2
}

println(sortedArray) // = ["15/04/01", "15/04/02", "15/04/03"]

.

Daniel Krom的Swift 2答案的更简洁的语法版本，使用了一个尾随闭包和简写参数名，这似乎是基于Airspeed Velocity的原始答案:

func uniq<S: SequenceType, E: Hashable where E == S.Generator.Element>(source: S) -> [E] {
  var seen = [E: Bool]()
  return source.filter { seen.updateValue(true, forKey: $0) == nil }
}

实现一个可以与uniq(_:)一起使用的自定义类型的示例(必须符合Hashable，因此符合Equatable，因为Hashable扩展了Equatable):

func ==(lhs: SomeCustomType, rhs: SomeCustomType) -> Bool {
  return lhs.id == rhs.id // && lhs.someOtherEquatableProperty == rhs.someOtherEquatableProperty
}

struct SomeCustomType {

  let id: Int

  // ...

}

extension SomeCustomType: Hashable {

  var hashValue: Int {
    return id
  }

}

在上面的代码中…

在==重载中使用的id可以是任何Equatable类型(或返回Equatable类型的方法，例如someMethodThatReturnsAnEquatableType())。注释掉的代码演示了扩展相等性检查，其中someOtherEquatableProperty是Equatable类型的另一个属性(但也可以是返回Equatable类型的方法)。

在hashValue计算属性中使用的id(必须符合Hashable)可以是任何Hashable(因此是Equatable)属性(或返回Hashable类型的方法)。

使用uniq(_:)的示例:

var someCustomTypes = [SomeCustomType(id: 1), SomeCustomType(id: 2), SomeCustomType(id: 3), SomeCustomType(id: 1)]

print(someCustomTypes.count) // 4

someCustomTypes = uniq(someCustomTypes)

print(someCustomTypes.count) // 3
