Duplicate check for comma separated array

I am trying to check duplicate in the following array, just i am want to return true or false if duplicate exists.

var array = ["Saturday", "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Saturday" ];

for ( var i = 0; i < array.length; i++){

for (var j = i+1; j< array.length; j++){

if (array [i] === array [j]){

console.log(array[i]);
}
}

}

I tried the above , it giving result only for one item in an array not for comma separated. How i can write a duplicate check function in best way for comma separated array?

Array(10)
 0: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"1: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"2: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"3: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"4: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"5: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"6: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"7: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"8: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"9: "test3,tier 1,test,test2
"length: 10
__proto__: Array(0)

The items in a Set will always be unique, as it only keeps one copy of each value you put in. Here's a function that uses this property:

function hasDuplicates(iterable) {
  return  new Set(iterable).size !== iterable.length;
}

// Demo
var array = ["Saturday", "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Saturday" ];
console.log(hasDuplicates(array))

// Returns True if there is duplicates
// Otherwise return false

Set(iterable).size will return the count of unique elements in that set, while iterable.length is the counts of all elements in the original array.

Edit #1

To check ONLY the first item for duplicates you can use something like this

var array = ["Saturday",  "Saturday", "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday" ];


console.log(array.indexOf(array[0] , 1) === -1 ? "No duplicates" : "Has duplicate" );

// Check duplicates in upload data excel

    checkDuplicates(arr) {

        if (arr.length > 1) {
            for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
                for (var j = i + 1; j < arr.length; j++) {

                    if (arr[i].split(',')[0] === arr[j].split(',')[0]) {
                        return true;
                    } else {
                        return false;
                    }
                }
            }
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
