 3  Remove duplicate values from an array. Fastest ES5 implementation.

 5  ## Install
 6  
 7  Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
 8  
 9  ```sh
10  $ npm install --save array-unique
11  ```
12  
13  ## Usage
14  
15  ```js
16  var unique = require('array-unique');
17  
18  var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c'];
19  console.log(unique(arr)) //=> ['a', 'b', 'c']
20  console.log(arr)         //=> ['a', 'b', 'c']
21  
22  /* The above modifies the input array. To prevent that at a slight performance cost: */
23  var unique = require("array-unique").immutable;
24  
25  var arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c'];
26  console.log(unique(arr)) //=> ['a', 'b', 'c']
27  console.log(arr)         //=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'c']
