Check if object value exists within a Javascript array of objects and if not add a new object to array

If I have the following array of objects:

[ { id: 1, username: 'fred' }, { id: 2, username: 'bill' }, { id: 2, username: 'ted' } ]

Is there a way to loop through the array to check whether a particular username value already exists and if it does do nothing, but if it doesn’t to add a new object to the array with said username (and new ID)?

Thanks!
