Building on Anon s excellent answer  this one returns the intersection of two or more arrays   function arrayIntersect arrayOfArrays                var arrayCopy   arrayOfArrays slice            baseArray   arrayCopy pop         return baseArray filter function item            return arrayCopy every function itemList                return itemList indexOf item      -1

If your environment supports ECMAScript 6 Set  one simple and supposedly efficient  see specification link  way   function intersect a  b      var setA   new Set a     var setB   new Set b     var intersection   new Set     setA  filter x   gt  setB has x       return Array from intersection       Shorter  but less readable  also without creating the additional intersection Set    function intersect a  b      var setB   new Set b     return     new Set a   filter x   gt  setB has x        Note that when using sets you will only get distinct values  thus new Set  1  2  3  3   size evaluates to 3

I have written an intesection function which can even detect intersection of array of objects based on particular property of those objects   For instance   if arr1     id  10    id  20   and arr2      id  20    id  25     and we want intersection based on the id property  then the output should be       id  20     As such  the function for the same  note  ES6 code  is    const intersect    arr1  arr2  accessors    v   gt  v  v   gt  v     gt        const  fn1  fn2    accessors      const set   new Set arr2 map v   gt  fn2 v         return arr1 filter value   gt  set has fn1 value          and you can call the function as   intersect arr1  arr2   elem   gt  elem id  elem   gt  elem id     Also note  this function finds intersection considering the first array is the primary array and thus the intersection result will be that of the primary array

Use a combination of Array prototype filter and Array prototype includes  const filteredArray   array1 filter value   gt  array2 includes value     For older browsers  with Array prototype indexOf and without an arrow function  var filteredArray   array1 filter function n        return array2 indexOf n      -1       NB  Both  includes and  indexOf internally compares elements in the array by using      so if the array contains objects it will only compare object references  not their content   If you want to specify your own comparison logic  use  some instead

A tiny tweak to the smallest one here  the filter indexOf solution   namely creating an index of the values in one of the arrays using a JavaScript object  will reduce it from O N M  to  probably  linear time  source1 source2  function intersect a  b      var aa         a forEach function v    aa v  1        return b filter function v    return v in aa          This isn t the very simplest solution  it s more code than filter indexOf   nor is it the very fastest  probably slower by a constant factor than intersect safe     but seems like a pretty good balance  It is on the very simple side  while providing good performance  and it doesn t require pre-sorted inputs
