当你希望通过对象的特定属性进行搜索时，我使用了map和reduce来做到这一点，因为直接进行对象相等通常会失败。

var newItem = {'unique_id': 123};
var searchList = [{'unique_id' : 123}, {'unique_id' : 456}];

hasDuplicate = searchList
   .map(function(e){return e.unique_id== newItem.unique_id})
   .reduce(function(pre, cur) {return pre || cur});

if (hasDuplicate) {
   searchList.push(newItem);
} else {
   console.log("Duplicate Item");
}

如果你需要一些简单的东西，而不想扩展数组原型:

// Example array
var array = [{id: 1}, {id: 2}, {id: 3}];

function pushIfNew(obj) {
  for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
    if (array[i].id === obj.id) { // modify whatever property you need
      return;
    }
  }
  array.push(obj);
}

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")
 

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}]

我的选择是使用.includes()扩展数组。正如@Darrin Dimitrov所建议的原型:

Array.prototype.pushIfNotIncluded = function (element) {
    if (!this.includes(element)) {
      this.push(element);
    }
}

记住include来自es6，在IE上不起作用: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/includes
