var stooges = [
  { 'name': 'moe', 'age': 40 },
  { 'name': 'larry', 'age': 50 },
  { 'name': 'curly', 'age': 60 }
];

_.where(stooges, { 'age': 40 });
// => [{ 'name': 'moe', 'age': 40 }]

`_.without(array [, value1, value2, ...])`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

Creates an array with all occurrences of the passed values removed using strict equality for comparisons, i.e. ===.

Arguments

array (Array): The array to filter.
[value1, value2, ...] (Mixed): Values to remove.

Returns

(Array): Returns a new filtered array.

Example

_.without([1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 1, 4], 0, 1);
// => [2, 3, 4]

`_.wrap(value, wrapper)`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

Creates a function that passes value to the wrapper function as its first argument. Additional arguments passed to the new function are appended to those passed to the wrapper function.

Arguments

value (Mixed): The value to wrap.
wrapper (Function): The wrapper function.

Returns

(Function): Returns the new function.

Example

var hello = function(name) { return 'hello: ' + name; };
hello = _.wrap(hello, function(func) {
  return 'before, ' + func('moe') + ', after';
});
hello();
// => 'before, hello: moe, after'

`_.zip([array1, array2, ...])`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

Groups the elements of each array at their corresponding indexes. Useful for separate data sources that are coordinated through matching array indexes. For a matrix of nested arrays, _.zip.apply(...) can transpose the matrix in a similar fashion.

Arguments

[array1, array2, ...] (Array): Arrays to process.

Returns

(Array): Returns a new array of grouped elements.

Example

_.zip(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]);
// => [['moe', 30, true], ['larry', 40, false], ['curly', 50, false]]

`_.prototype`

`_.prototype.chain()`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

Enables method chaining on the wrapper object.

Returns

(Mixed): Returns the wrapper object.

Example

_([1, 2, 3]).value();
// => [1, 2, 3]

`_.prototype.value()`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

Extracts the wrapped value.

Returns

(Mixed): Returns the wrapped value.

Example

_([1, 2, 3]).value();
// => [1, 2, 3]

`_.templateSettings`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(Object): By default, the template delimiters used by Lo-Dash are similar to those in embedded Ruby (ERB). Change the following template settings to use alternative delimiters.

`_.templateSettings.escape`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(RegExp): Used to detect data property values to be HTML-escaped.

`_.templateSettings.evaluate`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(RegExp): Used to detect code to be evaluated.

`_.templateSettings.interpolate`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(RegExp): Used to detect data property values to inject.

`_.templateSettings.variable`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(String): Used to reference the data object in the template text.
