    Why lodash-contrib?

    While lodash provides a bevy of useful tools to support functional programming in JavaScript, it can't (and shouldn't) be everything to everyone. lodash-contrib is intended as a home for functions that, for various reasons, don't belong in lodash proper. In particular, it aims to be:

    • a home for functions that are limited in scope, but solve certain point problems, and
    • a proving ground for features that belong in lodash proper, but need some advocacy and/or evolution (or devolution) to get them there.

    Use

    First, you’ll need lodash. Then you can grab the relevant lodash-contrib libraries and simply add something like the following to your pages:

    At the moment there are no cross-contrib dependencies (i.e. each library can stand by itself), but that may change in the future.

    Sub-libraries

    The lodash-contrib library currently contains a number of related capabilities, aggregated into the following files.

    • _.array.builders - functions to build arrays
    • _.array.selectors - functions to take things from arrays
    • _.collections.walk - functions to walk and transform nested JavaScript objects
    • _.function.arity - functions to manipulate and fix function argument arity
    • _.function.combinators - functions to combine functions to make new functions
    • _.function.iterators - functions to lazily produce, manipulate and consume sequence iterators
    • _.function.predicates - functions that return true or false based on some criteria
    • _.object.builders - functions to build JavaScript objects
    • _.object.selectors - functions to pick things from JavaScript objects
    • _.util.existential - functions that check for the existence or truthiness of JavaScript data types
    • _.util.operators - functions that wrap common (or missing) JavaScript operators
    • _.util.strings - functions to work with strings
    • _.util.trampolines - functions to facilitate calling functions recursively without blowing the stack
