# arr-union [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/arr-union) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/arr-union) | |
> Combines a list of arrays, returning a single array with unique values, using strict equality for comparisons. | |
## Install | |
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): | |
```sh | |
$ npm i arr-union --save | |
``` | |
## Benchmarks | |
This library is **10-20 times faster** and more performant than [array-union](https://github.com/sindresorhus/array-union). | |
See the [benchmarks](./benchmark). | |
```sh | |
#1: five-arrays | |
array-union x 511,121 ops/sec ±0.80% (96 runs sampled) | |
arr-union x 5,716,039 ops/sec ±0.86% (93 runs sampled) | |
#2: ten-arrays | |
array-union x 245,196 ops/sec ±0.69% (94 runs sampled) | |
arr-union x 1,850,786 ops/sec ±0.84% (97 runs sampled) | |
#3: two-arrays | |
array-union x 563,869 ops/sec ±0.97% (94 runs sampled) | |
arr-union x 9,602,852 ops/sec ±0.87% (92 runs sampled) | |
``` | |
## Usage | |
```js | |
var union = require('arr-union'); | |
union(['a'], ['b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f']); | |
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'] | |
``` | |
Returns only unique elements: | |
```js | |
union(['a', 'a'], ['b', 'c']); | |
//=> ['a', 'b', 'c'] | |
``` | |
