I have a function that makes an HTTP GET request to compare a given value with elements in an array. If there's no match, I want to add the value to another array. The issue is that duplicates are being added to the array because of multiple loop iterations. Here is my code:
$scope.fetchParcel = function()
{
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: '/infiniti/' + $scope.infinitiId,
})
.success(function(a){
angular.forEach($scope.parcels, function(parcel, key){
angular.forEach(parcel, function(par){
if(par == $scope.shipper_ref_no){
$scope.scans.push(parcel);
$scope.checked++;
$scope.parcels.splice(key, 1);
}
if(par != $scope.shipper_ref_no){
$scope.excludeds.push($scope.shipper_ref_no);
}
});
});
});
}
The part where it says
$scope.excludes.push($scope.shipper_ref_no);Example of the array:
[
-{
id: 1
t: "1122"
srn: "23"
}
-{
id: 2
t: "234"
srn: "23"
}
-{
id: 3
t: "dd"
srn: "44"
}
]
If my input is something like "444kkkddd" and it doesn't match any element, it adds "444kkkddd" to the array multiple times. I need it to be added just once. I understand why it happens, but I'm seeking a solution to handle this so it adds just one entry. I'm stuck.
