Lodash _.words() method is used to split the given string into an array of words. A pattern can be specified so that certain words can be removed from the string.
Syntax:
_.words(string, pattern);
Parameters:
- string: It is the string that is to be split. The default value is an empty string.
- pattern: It is a pattern on the basis of which the words would be matched. It is an optional parameter.
Return Value:
This method returns an array of words according to the pattern.
Example 1: In this example, we are converting a string into arrays of words by the use of the lodash _.words() method.
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' );
// Specify the string to split let str = "Geeks for Geeks" ;
// Using _.words() method console.log(_.words(str)); |
Output:
[ 'Geeks', 'for', 'Geeks' ]
Example 2: In this example, we are converting a string into arrays of words by the use of the lodash _.words() method.
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' );
// Specify the string to split let str = "Geeks for Geeks" ;
// Using _.words() method console.log(_.words(str, "for" ));
|
Output:
[ 'for', index: 6, input: 'Geeks for Geeks', groups: undefined ]
Example 3: In this example, we are converting a string into arrays of words by the use of the lodash _.words() method.
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' );
// Specify the string to split let str = "& Geeks for Geeks &" ;
// Using _.words() method with // a given pattern console.log(_.words(str, /[^, ]+/g)); |
Output:
[ '&', 'Geeks', 'for', 'Geeks', '&' ]
