Returns all unique values of an array, based on a provided comparator function.
Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` and `Array.prototype.some()` for an array containing only the first unique occurrence of each value, based on the comparator function, `fn`.
The comparator function takes two arguments: the values of the two elements being compared.
```js
const uniqueElementsBy = (arr, fn) =>
arr.reduce((acc, v) => {
if (!acc.some(x => fn(v, x))) acc.push(v);
return acc;
}, []);
```
```js
uniqueElementsBy(
[
{ id: 0, value: 'a' },
{ id: 1, value: 'b' },
{ id: 2, value: 'c' },
{ id: 1, value: 'd' },
{ id: 0, value: 'e' }
],
(a, b) => a.id == b.id
); // [ { id: 0, value: 'a' }, { id: 1, value: 'b' }, { id: 2, value: 'c' } ]
```
