这是我在@sagar-gavhane的回答之外所做的

const newUser = {_id: 4, name: 'Adam'}
const users = [{_id: 1, name: 'Fred'}, {_id: 2, name: 'Ted'}, {_id: 3, name:'Bill'}]

const userExists = users.some(user => user.name === newUser.name);
if(userExists) {
    return new Error({error:'User exists'})
}
users.push(newUser)

我认为，这是解决这个问题的最短方法。这里我使用ES6的箭头函数和.filter来检查新添加的用户名是否存在。

var arr = [{
    id: 1,
    username: 'fred'
}, {
    id: 2,
    username: 'bill'
}, {
    id: 3,
    username: 'ted'
}];

function add(name) {
    var id = arr.length + 1;        
            if (arr.filter(item=> item.username == name).length == 0){
            arr.push({ id: id, username: name });
        }
}

add('ted');
console.log(arr);

你可以建立你的数组原型，使它更模块化，尝试这样的东西

    Array.prototype.hasElement = function(element) {
        var i;
        for (i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {
            if (this[i] === element) {
                return i; //Returns element position, so it exists
            }
        }

        return -1; //The element isn't in your array
    };

你可以这样使用它:

 yourArray.hasElement(yourArrayElement)

Lodash中的xorWith可以用来实现这一点

let objects = [ { id: 1, username: 'fred' }, { id: 2, username: 'bill' }, { id: 2, username: 'ted' } ]
let existingObject = { id: 1, username: 'fred' };
let newObject = { id: 1729, username: 'Ramanujan' }

_.xorWith(objects, [existingObject], _.isEqual)
// returns [ { id: 2, username: 'bill' }, { id: 2, username: 'ted' } ]

_.xorWith(objects, [newObject], _.isEqual)
// returns [ { id: 1, username: 'fred' }, { id: 2, username: 'bill' }, { id: 2, username: 'ted' } ,{ id: 1729, username: 'Ramanujan' } ]

我喜欢Andy的回答，但是id不一定是唯一的，所以这里是我想出的创建唯一id的方法。也可以在jsfiddle上查看。请注意arr。如果之前已经删除了任何内容，length + 1可能无法保证唯一的ID。

var array = [ { id: 1, username: 'fred' }, { id: 2, username: 'bill' }, { id: 3, username: 'ted' } ];
var usedname = 'bill';
var newname = 'sam';

// don't add used name
console.log('before usedname: ' + JSON.stringify(array));
tryAdd(usedname, array);
console.log('before newname: ' + JSON.stringify(array));
tryAdd(newname, array);
console.log('after newname: ' + JSON.stringify(array));

function tryAdd(name, array) {
    var found = false;
    var i = 0;
    var maxId = 1;
    for (i in array) {
        // Check max id
        if (maxId <= array[i].id)
            maxId = array[i].id + 1;

        // Don't need to add if we find it
        if (array[i].username === name)
            found = true;
    }

    if (!found)
        array[++i] = { id: maxId, username: name };
}

const __checkIfElementExists__ = __itemFromArray__ => __itemFromArray__.*sameKey* === __outsideObject__.*samekey*;

    if (cartArray.some(checkIfElementExists)) {
        console.log('already exists');
    } else {
        alert('does not exists here')
