Lodash _.tail() Function

The _.tail() method is used to create a new array that doesn’t contain the first element of the original array.

Syntax:

_.tail( array )

Parameters: This method accepts single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • array: This parameter holds the query array.

Return Value: This method returns the slice of an array.

Example 1:




const _ = require('lodash');
  
let x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
  
let newArray = _.tail(x);
  
console.log(newArray);


Here, const _ = require('lodash') is used to import the lodash library into the file.

Output:

[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]

Example 2:




const _ = require('lodash');
  
let x = [
    {'name': 'lodash'}, 
    {'name': 'npm'}, 
    {'name': 'nodejs'}
]
  
let newArray = _.tail(x);
  
console.log(newArray);


Output:

[ { name: 'npm' }, { name: 'nodejs' } ]

Example:




const _ = require('lodash');
  
let x = [1, 2, 'a', {'name': 'hello'}]
  
let newArray = _.tail(x);
  
console.log(newArray);


Output:

[ 2, 'a', { name: 'hello' } ]

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
