`“Chain” Methods`

`_(value)`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

Creates a lodash object which wraps value to enable implicit chaining. Methods that operate on and return arrays, collections, and functions can be chained together. Methods that return a boolean or single value will automatically end the chain returning the unwrapped value. Explicit chaining may be enabled using _.chain. The execution of chained methods is lazy, that is, execution is deferred until _#value is implicitly or explicitly called.

Lazy evaluation allows several methods to support shortcut fusion. Shortcut fusion is an optimization that merges iteratees to avoid creating intermediate arrays and reduce the number of iteratee executions.

Chaining is supported in custom builds as long as the _#value method is directly or indirectly included in the build.

In addition to lodash methods, wrappers also have the following Array methods:
concat, join, pop, push, reverse, shift, slice, sort, splice, and unshift

The wrapper methods that support shortcut fusion are:
compact, drop, dropRight, dropRightWhile, dropWhile, filter, first, initial, last, map, pluck, reject, rest, reverse, slice, take, takeRight, takeRightWhile, takeWhile, toArray, and where

The chainable wrapper methods are:
after, ary, assign, at, before, bind, bindAll, bindKey, callback, chain, chunk, commit, compact, concat, constant, countBy, create, curry, debounce, defaults, defer, delay, difference, drop, dropRight, dropRightWhile, dropWhile, fill, filter, flatten, flattenDeep, flow, flowRight, forEach, forEachRight, forIn, forInRight, forOwn, forOwnRight, functions, groupBy, indexBy, initial, intersection, invert, invoke, keys, keysIn, map, mapValues, matches, matchesProperty, memoize, merge, mixin, negate, noop, omit, once, pairs, partial, partialRight, partition, pick, plant, pluck, property, propertyOf, pull, pullAt, push, range, rearg, reject, remove, rest, reverse, shuffle, slice, sort, sortBy, sortByAll, splice, spread, take, takeRight, takeRightWhile, takeWhile, tap, throttle, thru, times, toArray, toPlainObject, transform, union, uniq, unshift, unzip, values, valuesIn, where, without, wrap, xor, zip, and zipObject

The wrapper methods that are not chainable by default are:
attempt, camelCase, capitalize, clone, cloneDeep, deburr, endsWith, escape, escapeRegExp, every, find, findIndex, findKey, findLast, findLastIndex, findLastKey, findWhere, first, has, identity, includes, indexOf, isArguments, isArray, isBoolean, isDate, isElement, isEmpty, isEqual, isError, isFinite, isFunction, isMatch, isNative, isNaN, isNull, isNumber, isObject, isPlainObject, isRegExp, isString, isUndefined, isTypedArray, join, kebabCase, last, lastIndexOf, max, min, noConflict, now, pad, padLeft, padRight, parseInt, pop, random, reduce, reduceRight, repeat, result, runInContext, shift, size, snakeCase, some, sortedIndex, sortedLastIndex, startCase, startsWith, template, trim, trimLeft, trimRight, trunc, unescape, uniqueId, value, and words

The wrapper method sample will return a wrapped value when n is provided, otherwise an unwrapped value is returned.

Arguments

value (*): The value to wrap in a lodash instance.

Returns

(Object): Returns the new lodash wrapper instance.

Example

var wrapped = _([1, 2, 3]);

`_.throttle(func, wait, [options])`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ Ⓝ

Creates a function that only invokes func at most once per every wait milliseconds. The created function comes with a cancel method to cancel delayed invocations. Provide an options object to indicate that func should be invoked on the leading and/or trailing edge of the wait timeout. Subsequent calls to the throttled function return the result of the last func call.

`Methods`

`_.templateSettings.imports._`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

A reference to the lodash function.

`Properties`

`_.VERSION`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(string): The semantic version number.

`_.support`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ Ⓝ

(Object): An object environment feature flags.

`_.support.argsTag`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if the toStringTag of arguments objects is resolvable (all but Firefox < 4, IE < 9).

`_.support.enumErrorProps`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if name or message properties of Error.prototype are enumerable by default (IE < 9, Safari < 5.1).

`_.support.enumPrototypes`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if prototype properties are enumerable by default.

Firefox < 3.6, Opera > 9.50 - Opera < 11.60, and Safari < 5.1 (if the prototype or a property on the prototype has been set) incorrectly set the [[Enumerable]] value of a function's prototype property to true.

`_.support.funcDecomp`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if functions can be decompiled by Function#toString (all but Firefox OS certified apps, older Opera mobile browsers, and the PlayStation 3; forced false for Windows 8 apps).

`_.support.funcNames`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if Function#name is supported (all but IE).

`_.support.nodeTag`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if the toStringTag of DOM nodes is resolvable (all but IE < 9).

`_.support.nonEnumShadows`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if properties shadowing those on Object.prototype are non-enumerable.

In IE < 9 an object's own properties, shadowing non-enumerable ones, are made non-enumerable as well (a.k.a the JScript [[DontEnum]] bug).

`_.support.nonEnumStrings`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if string indexes are non-enumerable (IE < 9, RingoJS, Rhino, Narwhal).

`_.support.ownLast`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if own properties are iterated after inherited properties (IE < 9).

`_.support.spliceObjects`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect if Array#shift and Array#splice augment array-like objects correctly.

Firefox < 10, compatibility modes of IE 8, and IE < 9 have buggy Array shift() and splice() functions that fail to remove the last element, value[0], of array-like objects even though the length property is set to 0. The shift() method is buggy in compatibility modes of IE 8, while splice() is buggy regardless of mode in IE < 9.

`_.support.unindexedChars`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

(boolean): Detect lack of support for accessing string characters by index.

IE < 8 can't access characters by index. IE 8 can only access characters by index on string literals, not string objects.

`_.templateSettings`

`_.templateSettings.evaluate`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ

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

`_.templateSettings.imports`

# Ⓢ Ⓣ
