_.splat( function );

Example 2:
Javascript
// Defining lodash contrib variable var _ = require( 'lodash-contrib' ); function addNum (a, b) { return a + " : " + b; } var listTwoNamesFromArray = _.splat(addNum); console.log( listTwoNamesFromArray([ "neveropen" , "Computer Science Portal for Geeks" ]) ); |
Output:
neveropen : Computer Science Portal for Geeks
