SOLVED: Check if the array of objects contains another object based on its id.

	@jmgawecki Mar '21 Hey guys. I have two arrays. One is the empty one. The other one contains many objects, some of them have the same "id" parameter but different "quantity" parameter so the are unique in a way. To the new empty array I would like to append only objects based on id, so they wont repeat. Normal .contain will include two objects with the same id but with different quantity. How can I make that happen? Thanks for help. 3
	@rlong405 Mar '21 this looks like it might do what you are looking for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34709066/remove-objects-with-duplicate-properties-from-swift-array May not be the more efficient way of doing things and maybe someone else may have a better idea but my thinking is: 1) create new array usng the normal .contains which will bring in the values with the ID that you want but with the duplicates where you have different quantieis 2) use on the solutions in the link to remove the duplicates 4
	@nemecek-filip Mar '21 Hi, you can use the contains(where: method and check based on id. If you have a lot of items, then it would make sense to use something like `Set` to keep tracks of IDs already added, because this is much faster than doing contains on an array. 4
