flatten _.flatten(array, [depth])
Flattens a nested array. If you pass true or 1 as the depth, the array will only be flattened a single level. Passing a greater number will cause the flattening to descend deeper into the nesting hierarchy. Omitting the depth argument, or passing false or Infinity, flattens the array all the way to the deepest nesting level.
_.flatten([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]]);
=> [1, 2, 3, 4];
_.flatten([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]], true);
=> [1, 2, 3, [[4]]];
_.flatten([1, [2], [3, [[4]]]], 2);
=> [1, 2, 3, [4]];
without _.without(array, *values)
Returns a copy of the array with all instances of the values removed.
_.without([1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 4], 0, 1);
=> [2, 3, 4]
union _.union(*arrays)
Computes the union of the passed-in arrays: the list of unique items, in order, that are present in one or more of the arrays.
_.union([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
=> [1, 2, 3, 101, 10]
intersection _.intersection(*arrays)
Computes the list of values that are the intersection of all the arrays. Each value in the result is present in each of the arrays.
_.intersection([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
=> [1, 2]
difference _.difference(array, *others)
Similar to without, but returns the values from array that are not present in the other arrays.
_.difference([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [5, 2, 10]);
=> [1, 3, 4]
uniq _.uniq(array, [isSorted], [iteratee]) Alias : unique
Produces a duplicate-free version of the array, using === to test object equality. In particular only the first occurrence of each value is kept. If you know in advance that the array is sorted, passing true for isSorted will run a much faster algorithm. If you want to compute unique items based on a transformation, pass an iteratee function.
_.uniq([1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 3]);
=> [1, 2, 4, 3]
zip _.zip(*arrays)
Merges together the values of each of the arrays with the values at the corresponding position. Useful when you have separate data sources that are coordinated through matching array indexes.
_.zip(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]);
=> [["moe", 30, true], ["larry", 40, false], ["curly", 50, false]]
unzip _.unzip(array) Alias: transpose
The opposite of zip. Given an array of arrays, returns a series of new arrays, the first of which contains all of the first elements in the input arrays, the second of which contains all of the second elements, and so on. If you're working with a matrix of nested arrays, this can be used to transpose the matrix.
_.unzip([["moe", 30, true], ["larry", 40, false], ["curly", 50, false]]);
=> [['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]]
object _.object(list, [values])
Converts arrays into objects. Pass either a single list of [key, value] pairs, or a list of keys, and a list of values. Passing by pairs is the reverse of pairs. If duplicate keys exist, the last value wins.
_.object(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50]);
=> {moe: 30, larry: 40, curly: 50}
_.object([['moe', 30], ['larry', 40], ['curly', 50]]);
=> {moe: 30, larry: 40, curly: 50}
chunk _.chunk(array, length)
Chunks an array into multiple arrays, each containing length or fewer items.
var partners = _.chunk(_.shuffle(kindergarten), 2);
=> [["Tyrone", "Elie"], ["Aidan", "Sam"], ["Katrina", "Billie"], ["Little Timmy"]]
range _.range([start], stop, [step])
A function to create flexibly-numbered lists of integers, handy for each and map loops. start, if omitted, defaults to 0; step defaults to 1. Returns a list of integers from start (inclusive) to stop (exclusive), incremented (or decremented) by step. Note that ranges that stop before they start are considered to be zero-length instead of negative — if you'd like a negative range, use a negative step.
_.range(10);
=> [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
_.range(1, 11);
=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
_.range(0, 30, 5);
=> [0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
_.range(0, -10, -1);
=> [0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9]
_.range(0);
=> []
