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.
```go-html-template
{{ 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:
```go-html-template
{{ $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](/functions/collections/intersect) for `AND`.
