Script Preparation code:

const ids = Array.from({
    length: 500
}, () => Math.random().toString(16).slice(2));
var array = [...ids.map((id) => ([{
                id: id,
                content: "foo"
            }, {
                id: id,
                content: "bar"
            }, {
                id: id,
                content: "baz"
            }]))].flat();

Tests:

Filter + Set
const seen = new Set(); const deduplicatedArray1 = array.filter(item => { if (seen.has(item.id)) { return false; } seen.add(item.id); return true; });
Array from Map
const deduplicatedArray2 = [ ...new Map(array.map(item => [item.id, item])).values() ];
Naive Filter
const deduplicatedArray3 = array.filter((item, index, self) => index === self.findIndex(obj => obj.id === item.id) );
