Learning Lodash

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

Note: Lodash is is a superset of Underscore, so Lodash should be able to run everything that Underscore can, just require('lodash') instead.

Tutorial: https://medium.com/voobans-tech-stories/10-lodash-functions-everyone-should-know-334b372aec5d

Lodash GitHub repo: https://github.com/lodash/lodash#lodash

Lodash API docs: https://lodash.com/docs/

Setup

npm install -g npm
npm install --save lodash

var _ = require('lodash');
// or
var _ = require('lodash/core');
// or
var array = require('lodash/array');
