iteratee

Util
since 4.0.0

Arguments

  • * The value to convert to a callback.

Returns

Function the callback.

Creates a function that invokes func with the arguments of the created function. If func is a property name, the created function returns the property value for a given element. If func is an array or object, the created function returns true for elements that contain the equivalent source properties, otherwise it returns false.

Example of Lodash _.iteratee

var users = [
  { 'user': 'barney', 'age': 36, 'active': true },
  { 'user': 'fred',   'age': 40, 'active': false }
];

// The `_.matches` iteratee shorthand.
_.filter(users, _.iteratee({ 'user': 'barney', 'active': true }));
// => [{ 'user': 'barney', 'age': 36, 'active': true }]

// The `_.matchesProperty` iteratee shorthand.
_.filter(users, _.iteratee(['user', 'fred']));
// => [{ 'user': 'fred', 'age': 40 }]

// The `_.property` iteratee shorthand.
_.map(users, _.iteratee('user'));
// => ['barney', 'fred']

// Create custom iteratee shorthands.
_.iteratee = _.wrap(_.iteratee, function(iteratee, func) {
  return !_.isRegExp(func) ? iteratee(func) : function(string) {
    return func.test(string);
  };
});

_.filter(['abc', 'def'], /ef/);
// => ['def']
