  • value: It is the value to be given to the interceptor.

const _ = require('lodash');
  
// Calling tap() method
let result = _([5, 6, 7]).tap(function(arr) {
  
   // Modifying input array using push
   // operation
   arr.push(8);
 })
.value();
  
 // Displays output
 console.log(result);


Output:

[ 5, 6, 7, 8 ]

Example 2:

Javascript




// Requiring lodash library
const _ = require('lodash');
  
// Calling tap() method
let result = _(['Geeks', 'for']).tap(function(arr) {
  
   // Modifying input array using push

   arr.push('Geeks');
   })
   .value();
  
 // Displays output
 console.log(result);

// Calling tap() method

   // Modifying input array using pop
