Lodash is a module in Node.js that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc.
The Lodash.slice() function is used to take slice of the array from starting index to end index here end index is exclusive and start index is inclusive.
Syntax:
_.slice(array, startIndex, endIndex)
Parameters:
- array: It is the array from which slice is to be taken.
- startIndex: It is the starting index from which slicing of the array starts.
- endIndex: It is the end Index to which slicing is done. Please note endIndex is exclusive.
Return Value: It returns the slice of the array and the return type is array.
Note: Please install lodash module by npm install lodash before using the below given code.
Example 1: Slicing array and the given index size is in range of the array size.
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library let lodash= require("lodash"); // Original array let array1 = [[1, 12], [12, 8], 7, 8] // Using lodash.slice() method let newArray = lodash.slice(array1, 1, 3); // Printing original Array console.log("original Array1: ",array1) // Printing the newArray console.log("new Array: ", newArray) |
Output:
Example 2: Slicing array and the given end index is not in range of the size of the array.
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library let lodash= require("lodash"); // Original array let array1 = [[1, 12], [12, 8], 7, 8, 3, 4] // Using lodash.slice() method let newArray = lodash.slice(array1, 1, 10); // Printing original Array console.log("original Array1: ", array1) // Printing the newArray console.log("new Array: ", newArray) |
Output:
Example 3:
Slicing the empty array
javascript
// Requiring the lodash library let lodash = require("lodash"); // Original array let array1 = [] // Using lodash.slice() method let newArray = lodash.slice(array1, 1, 2); // Printing original Array console.log("original Array1: ", array1) // Printing the newArray console.log("new Array: ", newArray) |
Output:
Examples 4: When start and end index are not given.
Javascript
// Requiring the lodash library let lodash = require("lodash"); // Original array let array1 = [1, 2, 4, 3, 1, 5] // Using lodash.slice() method let newArray = lodash.slice(array1); // Printing original Array console.log("original Array1: ", array1) // Printing the newArray console.log("new Array: ", newArray) |
Output:
