union	Given two arrays or slices, returns a new array that contains the elements or objects that belong to either or both arrays/slices.	functions	docs parent functions	collections intersect union complement	union SET1 SET2	intersect where

Given two arrays (or slices) A and B, this function will return a new array that contains the elements or objects that belong to either A or to B or to both. The elements supported are strings, integers, and floats (only float64).

{{ union (slice 1 2 3) (slice 3 4 5) }}
<!-- returns [1 2 3 4 5] -->

{{ union (slice 1 2 3) nil }}
<!-- returns [1 2 3] -->

{{ union nil (slice 1 2 3) }}
<!-- returns [1 2 3] -->

{{ union nil nil }}
<!-- returns an error because both arrays/slices have to be of the same type -->

OR filter in where query

This is also very useful to use as OR filters when combined with where:

{{ $pages := where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "not in" (slice "page" "about") }}
{{ $pages = $pages | union (where .Site.RegularPages "Params.pinned" true) }}
{{ $pages = $pages | intersect (where .Site.RegularPages "Params.images" "!=" nil) }}

The above fetches regular pages not of page or about type unless they are pinned. And finally, we exclude all pages with no images set in Page parameters.

See intersect for AND.
