如何使用 Javascript 从对象数组中的数组道具中获取不明确的值

Question

So say i have a dataset like this.

posts = [
{
  title: 'title1',
  category: 'cat1',
  tags: ['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3', 'tag4']
},
{
  title: 'title2',
  category: 'cat1',
  tags: ['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag5']
}];

I'd like to get a list of the unique tags in all the posts like so:

['tag1', 'tag2', 'tag3', 'tag4', 'tag5']

I found this response that covers how to this for a single prop:

const categories = [...new Set(posts.map(post => post.category))];

But I can't seem to get the syntax for tags. Something like this (predictably), adds the arrays instead of the destructed values:

const tags = [...new Set(posts.map(post => post.tags))];

Obviously I can loop through each post and the grab them that way, but I'm sure there's a more elegant way using ES6 that I just haven't figured out yet. Any thoughts here?

Use Array.flatMap() to get a flattened array of tags to create the Set:

 const posts = [{"title":"title1","category":"cat1","tags":["tag1","tag2","tag3","tag4"]},{"title":"title2","category":"cat1","tags":["tag1","tag2","tag5"]}]; const result = [...new Set(posts.flatMap(p => p.tags))]; console.log(result);

If Array.flatMap() is not supported, you can spread the array of arrays created by your Array.map() into Array.concat() to flatten it:

 const posts = [{"title":"title1","category":"cat1","tags":["tag1","tag2","tag3","tag4"]},{"title":"title2","category":"cat1","tags":["tag1","tag2","tag5"]}]; const result = [...new Set([].concat(...posts.map(p => p.tags)))]; console.log(result);
