Add unique element for array type

[intoxicated]

I'm trying to migrate from Algolia to meilisearch, but I have been struggling to find a way to add unique element to array type.
For instance, let's say I have a document following:

{
   "id": 1234,
   "colors": ["red", "blue"]
}

and later I want to add some element to colors field but I wouldn't know which colors are already presented in the property unless I get the document first.

Algolia provides a way to add unique element to array field with batch like

{
  "op": "update",
  "partialUpdate": "addUnique",
  "id": 1234,
  "field_name": "colors",
  "value": "red"
}

so this document will attempt to update existing document's colors field with red. Since, red is already present, it won't do anything. Does meilisearch provide somewhat similar feature? if not, what's best way to update array instead update whole property
