Lodash
A modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance, & extras.
_.assign({ 'a': 1 }, { 'b': 2 }, { 'c': 3 });
// → { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 }
_.map([1, 2, 3], function(n) { return n * 3; });
// → [3, 6, 9]

In Node.js:
// Load the full build.
var _ = require('lodash');
// Load the core build.
var _ = require('lodash/core');
// Load the fp build for immutable auto-curried iteratee-first data-last methods.
var _ = require('lodash/fp');
// Load a method category.
var array = require('lodash/array');
var object = require('lodash/fp/object');
// Load a single method for smaller builds with browserify/rollup/webpack.
var chunk = require('lodash/chunk');
var extend = require('lodash/fp/extend');
Why Lodash?
Lodash makes JavaScript easier by taking the hassle out of working with arrays, numbers, objects, strings, etc. Lodash’s modular methods are great for:
- Iterating arrays, objects, & strings
- Manipulating & testing values
- Creating composite functions
Module Formats
Lodash is available in a variety of builds & module formats.
