Lodash _.method() Method

Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc.

The _.method() method creates a function that invokes the method at the path of a given object. Any additional arguments are provided to the invoked method.

Syntax:

_.method(path, args)

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

• path: This is the path to invoke.
• args: These are the arguments to invoke the method with.

Return Value: This method returns the new invoker function.

Example 1:

Javascript

// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");

// Use of _.method() method
var gfg = [
    { 'a': { 'b': _.constant("geeks") } },
    { 'a': { 'b': _.constant("for") } },
    { 'a': { 'b': _.constant("geeks") } }
];

let ans = _.map(gfg, _.method('a.b'));

// Printing the output
console.log(ans);

Output:

["geeks", "for", "geeks"]

Example 2:

Javascript

// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");

// Use of _.method() method
var gfg =[
    { 'b': _.constant(1) },
    { 'b': _.constant(5) },
    { 'b': _.constant(8) }
];

let ans = _.map(gfg, _.method(['b']));

// Printing the output
console.log(ans);

Output :

[1, 5, 8]
