Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc. It provides us with various inbuilt functions and uses a functional programming approach which makes coding in javascript easier to understand because instead of writing repetitive functions, tasks can be accomplished with a single line of code.
Lodash Methods |
Description |
---|---|
_.countBy() | It creates an object composed of keys generated from the results of running each element of collection through iteratee. |
_.every() | It checks if the predicate returns true for all elements of collection and iteration is stopped once the predicate returns falsely. |
_.filter() | It iterates over elements of collection, returning an array of all elements predicate returns true. |
_.find() | It access each value of the collection and returns the first element that passes a truth test for the predicate. |
_.findLast() | It iterates over the elements in a collection from the right to the left. |
_.flatMap() | It creates a flattened array of values by running each element in collection through iteratee and flattens the mapped results. |
_.flatMapDeep() | It creates a flattened array of values by running each element in collection through iteratee and flattens the mapped results. |
_.flatMapDepth() | It creates a flattened array of values by running each element in collection through iteratee and flattens the mapped results up to the given depth value. |
_.forEach() | It iterates over elements of collection and invokes iteratee for each element. |
_.forEachRight() | It iterates over elements of collection from right to left. |
_.groupBy() | It creates an object composed of keys generated from the results of running each element of collection through iteratee. |
_.includes() | It is used to find the value is in the collection or not. |
_.invokeMap() | It invokes the method at the given path of each element in the collection and returns an array of the results of each invoked method. |
_.keyBy() | It creates an object that composed of keys generated from the results of running an each element of collection through iteratee. |
_.map() | It creates an array of values by running each element in collection through the iteratee. |
_.orderBy() | It allows the sort orders of the iterates to sort by. |
_.partition() | It creates an array of elements split into two groups. |
_.reduce() | It reduces collection to value which is accumulated result of running each element in the collection through iteratee. |
_.reduceRight() | It iterates over elements of collection from right to left. |
_.reject() | This method returns elements of the collection that predicate does not return true. |
_.sample() | It will provide a random element from collection. |
_.sampleSize() | is used to give an array of n random elements from the given array. |
_.shuffle() | It creates an array of shuffled values from the given collection using a version of the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm. |
_.size() | It gets the size of collection by returning its length for array such as values. |
_.some() | It is used to check if predicate return true for any element of collection. |
_.sortBy() | It creates an array of elements which is sorted in ascending order by the results of running each element in a collection through iteratee. |
