Summary

edit

Lodash is a JavaScript library that helps programmers write more concise and maintainable JavaScript.

It can be broken down into several main areas:

  • Utilities: for simplifying common programming tasks such as determining type as well as simplifying math operations.
  • Function: simplifying binding, decorating, constraining, throttling, debouncing, currying, and changing the pointer.
  • String: conversion functions for performing basic string operations, such as trimming, converting to uppercase, camel case, etc.
  • Array: creating, splitting, combining, modifying, and compressing
  • Collection: iterating, sorting, filtering, splitting, and building
  • Object: accessing, extending, merging, defaults, and transforming
  • Seq: chaining, wrapping, filtering, and testing.

It has had multiple releases, so not all functions are available in all implementations. For example, _.chunk has only been available since version 3.0.0.
