Underscore.js _.methodize() Method

The _.methodize() method takes a function and pulls the first argument out of the argument list and into this position. The returned function calls the original with its receiver (this) prepending the argument list.

Syntax:

_.methodize( function );

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

  • function: original function containing arguments.

Return Value: This method returns a function.

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

underscore.js contrib library can be installed using npm install underscore-contrib –save.

Example 1:

Javascript




// Defining underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
function gfgFunc (obj) {
    return obj.name + ": " + obj.about;
}
  
var Geeks = {
    name: "neveropen",
    about: "Computer Science Portal for Geeks",
    fun: _.methodize(gfgFunc)
};
  
console.log(Geeks.fun())


Output:

neveropen: Computer Science Portal for Geeks

Example 2: 

Javascript




// Defining underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib'); 
  
function gfgFunc (obj) {
    return "Geeks";
}
  
fun= _.methodize(gfgFunc)
console.log(fun())


Output:

Geeks
