uniqued(on:)

Returns an array with the unique elements of this sequence (as determined by the given projection), in the order of the first occurrence of each unique element.

Unique.swift:115
func uniqued<Subject>(on projection: (Element) throws -> Subject) rethrows -> [Element] where Subject : Hashable

Parameters

projection

A closure that transforms an element into the value to use for uniqueness. If projection returns the same value for two different elements, the second element will be excluded from the resulting array.

Returns

An array with only the unique elements of this sequence, as determined by the result of projection for each element.

This example finds the elements of the animals array with unique first characters:

let animals = ["dog", "pig", "cat", "ox", "cow", "owl"]
let uniqued = animals.uniqued(on: { $0.first })
print(uniqued)
// Prints '["dog", "pig", "cat", "ox"]'
