Enhancing and Extending Objects with Underscore.js
JavaScript 1.5 is lacking when it comes time to seriously manipulate and manage objects. If you are running JavaScript in a web browser, I would like to be bold here and suggest the usage of Underscore.js when you need more functionality than is provided by JavaScript 1.5. Underscore.js provides the following functionality when dealing with objects.
These functions work on all objects and arrays:
-
each() -
map() -
reduce() -
reduceRight() -
detect() -
select() -
reject() -
all() -
any() -
include() -
invoke() -
pluck() -
max() -
min() -
sortBy() -
sortIndex() -
toArray() -
size()
These functions work on all objects:
-
keys() -
values() -
functions() -
extend() -
clone() -
tap() -
isEqual() -
isEmpty() -
isElement()
