Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc.
The _.words() method is used to split the given string into an array of words. A pattern can be specified so that certain words can be removed from the string.
Syntax:
_.words( string, pattern )
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- string: It is the string that is to be split. The default value is an empty string.
- pattern: It is a pattern on the basis of which the words would be matched. It is an optional parameter.
Return Value: This method returns an array of words according to the pattern.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require('lodash');   // Specify the string to split var str = "Geeks for Geeks";   // Using _.words() method console.log(_.words(str)); |
Output:
[ 'Geeks', 'for', 'Geeks' ]
Example 2:
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require('lodash');   // Specify the string to split var str = "Geeks for Geeks";   // Using _.words() method console.log(_.words(str, "for")); |
Output:
[ 'for', index: 6, input: 'Geeks for Geeks', groups: undefined ]
Example 3:
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require('lodash');   // Specify the string to split var str = "& Geeks for Geeks &";   // Using _.words() method with // a given pattern console.log(_.words(str, /[^, ]+/g)); |
Output:
[ '&', 'Geeks', 'for', 'Geeks', '&' ]
