Removing duplicates in an Array of Objects

// BEST ANSWER - LINEAR TIME SOLUTION

const seen = new Set();
const arr = [
  { id: 1, name: "test1" },
  { id: 2, name: "test2" },
  { id: 2, name: "test3" },
  { id: 3, name: "test4" },
  { id: 4, name: "test5" },
  { id: 5, name: "test6" },
  { id: 5, name: "test7" },
  { id: 6, name: "test8" }
];

const filteredArr = arr.filter(el => {
  const duplicate = seen.has(el.id);
  seen.add(el.id);
  return !duplicate;
});
