How to remove duplicates from an array in Dart

removeDuplicates(){
final list = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4];

return list.toSet().toList();
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output: [1,2,3,4]

Explanations: First we initialized a variable called list to an array that contains some duplicates, then we converted it to a set(as sets can not contain duplicates) and then back to a list.

Don't forget to follow me if you like tips like this 😉

simpler
final list = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4].toSet().toList();

Yes but for an example doing things step by step is better, for readability.
