Syntax:

_.split(string, separator, limit);

This method returns an array.

Example 1: In this example, we are splitting the given array by ‘-‘ by the use of the _.split() method.

Javascript

// Defining Lodash variable
const _ = require('lodash');

let str = "Geeks-for-Geeks";

// Using _.replace() method
console.log(_.split(str, '-'))

[ 'Geeks', 'for', 'Geeks' ]

let str = "Geeks-for-Geeks";

// Using _.replace() method
console.log(_.split(str, '-', 1))

Output:
