Lodash _.firstExisting() Method
The Lodash _.firstExisting() method returns the first existing argument from the arguments list.
Note: If the first argument is not exist like null or undefined, this method ignores that argument and checks for next.
Syntax:
_.firstExisting(arg1, arg2,....,argn);
Parameters: This method takes n arguments to check for the first existing argument.
Return Value: This method returns the first existing arguments.
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the lodash.js contrib library to be installed. Lodash.js contrib library can be installed using npm install lodash-contrib.
Example 1:
Javascript
var _ = require( 'lodash-contrib' );
var f_exist = _.firstExisting( "gfg" , "abc" , 0, 1);
console.log( "First Existing value is : " , f_exist);

Output:
First Existing value is : gfg
Example 2:
Javascript
var _ = require( 'lodash-contrib' );
var f_exist = _.firstExisting( null ,
undefined, "gfg" , "abc" , 0, 1);
console.log( "First Existing value is : " , f_exist);
|
Output:
First Existing value is : gfg
