|  | # arr-union [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/arr-union) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/arr-union)
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | > Combines a list of arrays, returning a single array with unique values, using strict equality for comparisons.
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Install
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```sh | ||
|  | $ npm i arr-union --save | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Benchmarks
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | This library is **10-20 times faster** and more performant than [array-union](https://github.com/sindresorhus/array-union). | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | See the [benchmarks](./benchmark). | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```sh | ||
|  | #1: five-arrays
 | ||
|  |   array-union x 511,121 ops/sec ±0.80% (96 runs sampled) | ||
|  |   arr-union x 5,716,039 ops/sec ±0.86% (93 runs sampled) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | #2: ten-arrays
 | ||
|  |   array-union x 245,196 ops/sec ±0.69% (94 runs sampled) | ||
|  |   arr-union x 1,850,786 ops/sec ±0.84% (97 runs sampled) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | #3: two-arrays
 | ||
|  |   array-union x 563,869 ops/sec ±0.97% (94 runs sampled) | ||
|  |   arr-union x 9,602,852 ops/sec ±0.87% (92 runs sampled) | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Usage
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | var union = require('arr-union'); | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | union(['a'], ['b', 'c'], ['d', 'e', 'f']); | ||
|  | //=> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'] | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Returns only unique elements: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | union(['a', 'a'], ['b', 'c']); | ||
|  | //=> ['a', 'b', 'c'] | ||
|  | ``` | ||
