Lodash _.take() method is used to create a slice of an array with n elements from the beginning.
Syntax:
_.take(array, n);Parameters:
- array: This parameter holds the query array.
- n: This parameter holds the number that represents the number of elements to take from the array.
Return Value:
- This method returns an array of first n elements.
Example 1: In this example, we are creating a new array having 3 elements of an old array by the use of the lodash _.take() method.
const _ = require('lodash');
let x = [1, 2, 'a', { 'name': 'hello' }]
let newArray = _.take(x, 3);
console.log(newArray);
Output:
[ 1, 2, 'a' ]Example 2: In this example, we are creating a new array having 2 elements of an old array by the use of the lodash _.take() method.
const _ = require('lodash');
let x = [
{ 'name': 'lodash' },
{ 'name': 'npm' },
{ 'name': 'nodejs' }
]
let newArray = _.take(x, 2);
console.log(newArray);
Output:
[ { name: 'lodash' }, { name: 'npm' } ]Example 3: In this example, we are creating a new array having 5 elements of an old array by the use of the lodash _.take() method.
const _ = require('lodash');
let x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
let newArray = _.take(x, 5);
console.log(newArray);
Output:
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the library lodash to be installed.
