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; 
});

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

正是出于这些原因，使用像underscore.js这样的js库。union:计算传入数组的并集:在一个或多个数组中出现的唯一项的列表。

_.union([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
=> [1, 2, 3, 101, 10]

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"])

像这样的吗?

var item = "Hello World";
var array = [];
if (array.indexOf(item) === -1) array.push(item);

与对象

var item = {name: "tom", text: "tasty"}
var array = [{}]
if (!array.find(o => o.name === 'tom' && o.text === 'tasty'))
    array.push(item)

这个问题有点老了，但我的选择是

    let finalTab = [{id: 1, name: 'dupont'}, {id: 2, name: 'tintin'}, {id: 3, name:'toto'}]; // Your array of object you want to populate with distinct data
    const tabToCompare = [{id: 1, name: 'dupont'}, {id: 4, name: 'tata'}]; // A array with 1 new data and 1 is contain into finalTab
    
    finalTab.push(
      ...tabToCompare.filter(
        tabToC => !finalTab.find(
          finalT => finalT.id === tabToC.id)
      )
    ); // Just filter the first array, and check if data into tabToCompare is not into finalTab, finally push the result of the filters

    console.log(finalTab); // Output : [{id: 1, name: 'dupont'}, {id: 2, name: 'tintin'}, {id: 3, name: 'toto'}, {id: 4, name: 'tata'}];
