使用数组是很容易做到的。函数findIndex，它以函数作为参数:

var arrayObj = [{name:"bull", text: "sour"},
    { name: "tom", text: "tasty" },
    { name: "tom", text: "tasty" }
]
var index = arrayObj.findIndex(x => x.name=="bob"); 
// here you can check specific property for an object whether it exist in your array or not

index === -1 ? arrayObj.push({your_object}) : console.log("object already exists")
 

如果有人有不太复杂的要求，这里是我对一个简单字符串数组的答案的改编:

Array.prototype.pushIfNotExist = function(val) {
    if (typeof(val) == 'undefined' || val == '') { return; }
    val = $.trim(val);
    if ($.inArray(val, this) == -1) {
        this.push(val);
    }
};

更新:替换indexOf和trim与jQuery的IE8兼容性的替代品

你可以用一个自定义方法扩展Array原型:

// check if an element exists in array using a comparer function
// comparer : function(currentElement)
Array.prototype.inArray = function(comparer) { 
    for(var i=0; i < this.length; i++) { 
        if(comparer(this[i])) return true; 
    }
    return false; 
}; 

// adds an element to the array if it does not already exist using a comparer 
// function
Array.prototype.pushIfNotExist = function(element, comparer) { 
    if (!this.inArray(comparer)) {
        this.push(element);
    }
}; 

var array = [{ name: "tom", text: "tasty" }];
var element = { name: "tom", text: "tasty" };
array.pushIfNotExist(element, function(e) { 
    return e.name === element.name && e.text === element.text; 
});

我建议你使用Set，

集只允许唯一的条目，这将自动解决您的问题。

集合可以这样声明:

const baz = new Set(["Foo","Bar"])

我更喜欢使用原生js Array.prototype.some()，即使在jqenv中 文档:w3s some or mdn some

let arr = [
    { name: "tom", text: "tasty" },
    { name: "tom", text: "tasty" }
];
let oneMore = { name: "tom", text: "tasty" };
!arr.some(i => i.name == oneMore.name && i.text == oneMore.text)
  && arr.push(oneMore);

我有这个问题，我做了一个简单的原型，使用它，如果你喜欢它

Array.prototype.findOrPush = function(predicate, fallbackVal) {
    let item = this.find(predicate)
    if(!item){
        item = fallbackVal
        this.push(item)
    }
    return item
}

let arr = [{id: 1}]
let item = arr.findOrPush(e => e.id == 2, {id: 2})
console.log(item) // {id: 2} 

// will not push and just return existing value
arr.findOrPush(e => e.id == 2, {id: 2}) 
conslog.log(arr)  // [{id: 1}, {id: 2}]
