This method returns the new composite function.

Example 1: In this example, we are using the _.flow() method and passing a function cube and the _.multiply() method and returning the result.

Javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash");
 
// Function to calculate the
// Cube of a number
function cube(number) {
    return number * number * number;
}
 
// Using the _.flow() method 
let multiplycube = _.flow([_.multiply, cube]);
 
// Return the output
console.log(multiplycube(2, 3));


 Output: 

216

Example 2: In this example, we are using the _.flow() method and passing a function doubled and the _.add() method and returning the result.

Javascript




// Requiring the lodash library 
const _ = require("lodash");
 
// Function to calculate the
// double value of a number
function doubled(number) {
    return number * 2;
}
 
// Using the _.flow() method 
let adddoubled = _.flow([_.add, doubled]);
 
// Return the output
console.log(adddoubled(6, 8));
