The chunk() function breaks the collection to many small collections of the given size.  In JavaScript, the array is first converted to a collection and then the function is applied to the collection.

Syntax: 

data.chunk(x)

Parameter:  This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below.

  • x : This parameter holds an integer number that defines where to break the collection

Return value: Return the sub collection of the main collection

Below examples illustrate the chunk() function in collect.js:
Example 1: Here in this example, we take a collection and then using the chunk() function we divide the collection.

Javascript




// It is used to import collect.js library
   
const collect = require('collect.js');
  
const collection = collect([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]);
  
const x = collection.chunk(5);
  
console.log(x.all());


Output : 
 

[ Collection { items: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] },
  Collection { items: [ 6, 7 ] } ]

Example 2: In this example, we will pass two values in the chunk() function.

Javascript




// It is used to import collect.js library
   
const collect = require('collect.js');
  
const collection = collect([0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]);
  
const x = collection.chunk(2, 4);
  
console.log(x.all());


Output: 

[ Collection { items: [ 0, 1 ] },
  Collection { items: [ 2, 3 ] },
  Collection { items: [ 4, 5 ] },
  Collection { items: [ 6 ] } ]
