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");
}

如果你的项目包含lodash，使用unionBy方法会很简单

import {unionBy} from "lodash";

let arrayObj = [
    { name: "jhon", text: "guitar"},
    { name: "paul", text: "bass" },
    { name: "george", text: "guitar" }
];

// this object will be added to the array
arrayObj = unionBy(arrayObj, [{name: 'ringo', text: 'drums'}], 'name')

// this object will be ignored because already exists  
arrayObj = unionBy(arrayObj, [{name: "jhon", text: "guitar"}], 'name')

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]

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; 
});

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")
 

对于字符串数组(但不是对象数组)，你可以通过调用.indexOf()来检查一个项是否存在，如果不存在，则将该项推入数组:

var newItem = "NEW_ITEM_TO_ARRAY"; var array = ["OLD_ITEM_1"， "OLD_ITEM_2"]; array.indexOf(newItem) === -1 ?array.push(newItem): console.log("此项已存在"); console.log(数组)
