The take() method is used to return a new collection with the specified number of items. It returns the elements from the end of the collection if the argument passed as a parameter is negative.
Syntax:
collect.take()
Parameters: The collect() method takes one argument that is converted into the collection and then the take() method is applied to it.
Return Value: This method returns a new collection with the specified number of items.
Module Installation: Install collect.js module using the following command from the root directory of your project:
npm install collect.js
The below example illustrates the take() method in collect.js:
Example 1: Filename: index.js
// Requiring the module
const collect = require('collect.js');
// Sample array
let arr = [2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
// Creating collection
const collection = collect(arr);
// Function call
const result = collection.take(5)
// Printing the result object
let newObject = result.all();
console.log(newObject);
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
[2, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Example 2: Filename: index.js
// Requiring the module
const collect = require('collect.js');
// Sample array
let arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', -3, 4, -6, 7];
// Creating collection
const collection = collect(arr);
// Function call
const result = collection.take(-3)
// Printing the result object
let newObject = result.all();
console.log(newObject);
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
[4, -6, 7]
