Lodash - unionBy method

Syntax

_.unionBy([arrays], [iteratee=_.identity])

Arguments

• [iteratee=_.identity] (Function) − The iteratee invoked per element.

Output

• (Array) − Returns the new array of combined values.

Example

var numbers = [1.1, 2.1, 2.3, 3.4]

var result = _.unionBy(numbers, [2.3, 2.6], Math.floor);
console.log(result);
