distinct

Select distinct/unique rows in data.table

Analogous function for distinct in dplyr

distinct(.data, ..., .keep_all = FALSE)

`.data`	data.table
`...`	Optional variables to use when determining uniqueness. If there are multiple rows for a given combination of inputs, only the first row will be preserved. If omitted, will use all variables.
`.keep_all`	If `TRUE`, keep all variables in data.table. If a combination of ... is not distinct, this keeps the first row of values.

data.table

a = as.data.table(iris)
 b = as.data.table(mtcars)
 a %>% distinct(Species)
 b %>% distinct(cyl,vs,.keep_all = TRUE)
