How to remove from JS array duplicate elements

Often at scraping I collect images or other sequential elements into an array. Yet, afterwards I need to remove duplicate elements from an array. The magic is to make it a Set and then use Spread syntax to turn it back to array.

links = [];
$('div.items').each((index, el) => { 
    let link = $(el).attr('href');						     
    links.push(link);
}); 
// remove repeating links
links = [...new Set(links)]
