What is Lodash?

Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. It helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc. It provides us with various inbuilt functions and uses a functional programming approach which that coding in JavaScript easier to understand because instead of writing repetitive functions, tasks can be accomplished with a single line of code. It also makes it easier to work with objects in JavaScript if they require a lot of manipulation to be done on them.

Why Lodash?

It provides various inbuilt functions for collections, arrays, manipulated objects, and other utility methods that we can use directly instead of writing them from scratch. It makes it easier to iterate over the arrays, strings as well as objects. Its modular methods make the creation of composite functions easier.

What is Lodash npm ?

The Lodash npm is used to install and import Lodash library using npm module. The command for installation of Lodash using npm module is npm i lodash
