Problem
What's the simplest, library-free code for implementing array intersections in javascript? I want to write
and get
intersection([1,2,3], [2,3,4,5])and get
[2, 3]Solution
Use a combination of
For older browsers, with
NB! Both
Array.prototype.filter and Array.prototype.includes:const filteredArray = array1.filter(value => array2.includes(value));For older browsers, with
Array.prototype.indexOf and without an arrow function:var filteredArray = array1.filter(function(n) {
return array2.indexOf(n) !== -1;
});NB! Both
.includes and .indexOf internally compares elements in the array by using ===, so if the array contains objects it will only compare object references (not their content). If you want to specify your own comparison logic, use Array.prototype.some instead.Code Snippets
const filteredArray = array1.filter(value => array2.includes(value));var filteredArray = array1.filter(function(n) {
return array2.indexOf(n) !== -1;
});Context
