<a href="http://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/">Underscore</a> is a
|
|
utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the
|
|
functional programming support that you would expect in
|
|
<a href="http://prototypejs.org/doc/latest/">Prototype.js</a>
|
|
(or <a href="http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Enumerable.html">Ruby</a>),
|
|
but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects. It's the
|
|
tie to go along with <a href="http://jquery.com">jQuery</a>'s tux,
|
|
and <a href="http://backbonejs.org">Backbone.js</a>'s suspenders.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Underscore provides 80-odd functions that support both the usual
|
|
functional suspects: <b>map</b>, <b>select</b>, <b>invoke</b> —
|
|
as well as more specialized helpers: function binding, javascript
|
|
templating, deep equality testing, and so on. It delegates to built-in
|
|
functions, if present, so modern browsers will use the
|
|
native implementations of <b>forEach</b>, <b>map</b>, <b>reduce</b>,
|
|
<b>filter</b>, <b>every</b>, <b>some</b> and <b>indexOf</b>.
|
|
</p>
|
|

Iterates over a <b>list</b> of elements, yielding each in turn to an <b>iterator</b>
|
|
function. The <b>iterator</b> is bound to the <b>context</b> object, if one is
|
|
passed. Each invocation of <b>iterator</b> is called with three arguments:
|
|
<tt>(element, index, list)</tt>. If <b>list</b> is a JavaScript object, <b>iterator</b>'s
|
|
arguments will be <tt>(value, key, list)</tt>. Delegates to the native
|
|
<b>forEach</b> function if it exists.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
_.each([1, 2, 3], alert);
|
|
=> alerts each number in turn...
|
|
_.each({one: 1, two: 2, three: 3}, alert);
|
|
=> alerts each number value in turn...</pre>

<p>
|
|
<i>
|
|
Note: Collection functions work on arrays, objects, and
|
|
array-like objects such as</i> <tt>arguments</tt>, <tt>NodeList</tt><i>
|
|
and similar. But it works by duck-typing, so avoid passing objects with
|
|
a numeric <tt>length</tt> property.

<br />
|
|
Produces a new array of values by mapping each value in <b>list</b>
|
|
through a transformation function (<b>iterator</b>). If the native <b>map</b> method
|
|
exists, it will be used instead. If <b>list</b> is a JavaScript object,
|
|
<b>iterator</b>'s arguments will be <tt>(value, key, list)</tt>.

|
|
Also known as <b>inject</b> and <b>foldl</b>, <b>reduce</b> boils down a
|
|
<b>list</b> of values into a single value. <b>Memo</b> is the initial state
|
|
of the reduction, and each successive step of it should be returned by
|
|
<b>iterator</b>. The iterator is passed four arguments: the <tt>memo</tt>,
|
|
then the <tt>value</tt> and <tt>index</tt> (or key) of the iteration,
|
|
and finally a reference to the entire <tt>list</tt>.

A function to create flexibly-numbered lists of integers, handy for

|
<tt>each</tt> and <tt>map</tt> loops. <b>start</b>, if omitted, defaults
|
|
to <i>0</i>; <b>step</b> defaults to <i>1</i>. Returns a list of integers

from <b>start</b> to <b>stop</b>, incremented (or decremented) by <b>step</b>,
|
|
exclusive. Note that ranges that <b>stop</b> before they <b>start</b>
|

<p id="bind">
|

<b class="header">bind</b><code>_.bind(function, object, [*arguments])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Bind a <b>function</b> to an <b>object</b>, meaning that whenever
|
|
the function is called, the value of <i>this</i> will be the <b>object</b>.
|
|
Optionally, pass <b>arguments</b> to the <b>function</b> to pre-fill them,

also known as <b>partial application</b>.

|
|
|
<p id="bindAll">
|
|
<b class="header">bindAll</b><code>_.bindAll(object, *methodNames)</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Binds a number of methods on the <b>object</b>, specified by
|
|
<b>methodNames</b>, to be run in the context of that object whenever they
|
|
are invoked. Very handy for binding functions that are going to be used
|
|
as event handlers, which would otherwise be invoked with a fairly useless
|
|
<i>this</i>. <b>methodNames</b> are required.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|

var buttonView = {

<i>without</i> changing its dynamic <tt>this</tt> value. A close cousin
|
|
of <a href="#bind">bind</a>.
|
|

|
|

<p id="memoize">
|
|
<b class="header">memoize</b><code>_.memoize(function, [hashFunction])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Memoizes a given <b>function</b> by caching the computed result. Useful
|
|
for speeding up slow-running computations. If passed an optional
|
|
<b>hashFunction</b>, it will be used to compute the hash key for storing
|
|
the result, based on the arguments to the original function. The default
|
|
<b>hashFunction</b> just uses the first argument to the memoized function
|
|
as the key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var fibonacci = _.memoize(function(n) {
|
|
return n < 2 ? n: fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);

</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p id="delay">
|
|
<b class="header">delay</b><code>_.delay(function, wait, [*arguments])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Much like <b>setTimeout</b>, invokes <b>function</b> after <b>wait</b>
|
|
milliseconds. If you pass the optional <b>arguments</b>, they will be
|
|
forwarded on to the <b>function</b> when it is invoked.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var log = _.bind(console.log, console);
|
|
_.delay(log, 1000, 'logged later');
|

|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p id="defer">
|
|
<b class="header">defer</b><code>_.defer(function, [*arguments])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Defers invoking the <b>function</b> until the current call stack has cleared,
|
|
similar to using <b>setTimeout</b> with a delay of 0. Useful for performing
|
|
expensive computations or HTML rendering in chunks without blocking the UI thread
|
|
from updating. If you pass the optional <b>arguments</b>, they will be
|
|
forwarded on to the <b>function</b> when it is invoked.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
_.defer(function(){ alert('deferred'); });
|

// Returns from the function before the alert runs.

</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p id="throttle">
|
|
<b class="header">throttle</b><code>_.throttle(function, wait, [options])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Creates and returns a new, throttled version of the passed function,
|
|
that, when invoked repeatedly, will only actually call the original function
|
|
at most once per every <b>wait</b>
|
|
milliseconds. Useful for rate-limiting events that occur faster than you
|
|
can keep up with.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, <b>throttle</b> will execute the function as soon as you call it
|
|
for the first time, and, if you call it again any number of times
|
|
during the <b>wait</b> period, as soon as that period is over.
|
|
If you'd like to disable the leading-edge
|
|
call, pass <tt>{leading: false}</tt>, and if you'd like to disable the
|
|
execution on the trailing-edge, pass <br /> <tt>{trailing: false}</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var throttled = _.throttle(updatePosition, 100);

</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p id="debounce">
|
|
<b class="header">debounce</b><code>_.debounce(function, wait, [immediate])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Creates and returns a new debounced version of the passed function which
|
|
will postpone its execution until after
|
|
<b>wait</b> milliseconds have elapsed since the last time it
|
|
was invoked. Useful for implementing behavior that should only happen
|
|
<i>after</i> the input has stopped arriving. For example: rendering a
|
|
preview of a Markdown comment, recalculating a layout after the window
|
|
has stopped being resized, and so on.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Pass <tt>true</tt> for the <b>immediate</b> parameter to cause
|
|
<b>debounce</b> to trigger the function on the leading instead of the
|
|
trailing edge of the <b>wait</b> interval. Useful in circumstances like
|
|
preventing accidental double-clicks on a "submit" button from firing a
|
|
second time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>

</pre>
|

|
|
<p id="once">
|
|
<b class="header">once</b><code>_.once(function)</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Creates a version of the function that can only be called one time.
|
|
Repeated calls to the modified function will have no effect, returning
|
|
the value from the original call. Useful for initialization functions,
|
|
instead of having to set a boolean flag and then check it later.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var initialize = _.once(createApplication);

initialize();

|
<p id="after">
|
|
<b class="header">after</b><code>_.after(count, function)</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Creates a version of the function that will only be run after first
|
|
being called <b>count</b> times. Useful for grouping asynchronous responses,
|
|
where you want to be sure that all the async calls have finished, before
|
|
proceeding.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var renderNotes = _.after(notes.length, render);

_.each(notes, function(note) {

|
|
|
|
<p id="wrap">
|
|
<b class="header">wrap</b><code>_.wrap(function, wrapper)</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Wraps the first <b>function</b> inside of the <b>wrapper</b> function,
|
|
passing it as the first argument. This allows the <b>wrapper</b> to
|
|
execute code before and after the <b>function</b> runs, adjust the arguments,
|
|
and execute it conditionally.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var hello = function(name) { return "hello: " + name; };
|
|
hello = _.wrap(hello, function(func) {

<p id="compose">

<b class="header">compose</b><code>_.compose(*functions)</code>
|

<br />
|
|
Returns the composition of a list of <b>functions</b>, where each function
|
|
consumes the return value of the function that follows. In math terms,
|
|
composing the functions <i>f()</i>, <i>g()</i>, and <i>h()</i> produces
|
|
<i>f(g(h()))</i>.
|
|
</p>
|

<p id="template">

<b class="header">template</b><code>_.template(templateString, [data], [settings])</code>
|
|
<br />
|
|
Compiles JavaScript templates into functions that can be evaluated
|
|
for rendering. Useful for rendering complicated bits of HTML from JSON
|
|
data sources. Template functions can both interpolate variables, using
|
|
<tt><%= … %></tt>, as well as execute arbitrary JavaScript code, with
|
|
<tt><% … %></tt>. If you wish to interpolate a value, and have
|
|
it be HTML-escaped, use <tt><%- … %></tt> When you evaluate a template function, pass in a
|
|
<b>data</b> object that has properties corresponding to the template's free
|
|
variables. If you're writing a one-off, you can pass the <b>data</b>
|
|
object as the second parameter to <b>template</b> in order to render
|
|
immediately instead of returning a template function. The <b>settings</b> argument
|
|
should be a hash containing any <tt>_.templateSettings</tt> that should be overridden.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var compiled = _.template("hello: <%= name %>");
|
|
compiled({name: 'moe'});
|
|
=> "hello: moe"
|
|
|
|
var list = "<% _.each(people, function(name) { %> <li><%= name %></li> <% }); %>";
|
|
_.template(list, {people: ['moe', 'curly', 'larry']});
|
|
=> "<li>moe</li><li>curly</li><li>larry</li>"
|
|
|
|
var template = _.template("<b><%- value %></b>");
|
|
template({value: '<script>'});
|
|
=> "<b>&lt;script&gt;</b>"</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also use <tt>print</tt> from within JavaScript code. This is
|
|
sometimes more convenient than using <tt><%= ... %></tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var compiled = _.template("<% print('Hello ' + epithet); %>");
|
|
compiled({epithet: "stooge"});
|
|
=> "Hello stooge"</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If ERB-style delimiters aren't your cup of tea, you can change Underscore's
|
|
template settings to use different symbols to set off interpolated code.
|
|
Define an <b>interpolate</b> regex to match expressions that should be
|
|
interpolated verbatim, an <b>escape</b> regex to match expressions that should
|
|
be inserted after being HTML escaped, and an <b>evaluate</b> regex to match
|
|
expressions that should be evaluated without insertion into the resulting
|
|
string. You may define or omit any combination of the three.
|
|
For example, to perform
|
|
<a href="http://github.com/janl/mustache.js#readme">Mustache.js</a>
|
|
style templating:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
_.templateSettings = {
|
|
interpolate: /\{\{(.+?)\}\}/g
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
var template = _.template("Hello {{ name }}!");
|
|
template({name: "Mustache"});
|
|
=> "Hello Mustache!"</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, <b>template</b> places the values from your data in the local scope
|
|
via the <tt>with</tt> statement. However, you can specify a single variable name
|
|
with the <b>variable</b> setting. This can significantly improve the speed
|
|
at which a template is able to render.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
_.template("Using 'with': <%= data.answer %>", {answer: 'no'}, {variable: 'data'});
|
|
=> "Using 'with': no"</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Precompiling your templates can be a big help when debugging errors you can't
|
|
reproduce. This is because precompiled templates can provide line numbers and
|
|
a stack trace, something that is not possible when compiling templates on the client.
|
|
The <b>source</b> property is available on the compiled template
|
|
function for easy precompilation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><script>
|
|
JST.project = <%= _.template(jstText).source %>;
|
|
</script></pre>

<h2 id="chaining">Chaining</h2>

<p>
|
|
You can use Underscore in either an object-oriented or a functional style,
|
|
depending on your preference. The following two lines of code are
|
|
identical ways to double a list of numbers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
_.map([1, 2, 3], function(n){ return n * 2; });
|
|
_([1, 2, 3]).map(function(n){ return n * 2; });</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Calling <tt>chain</tt> will cause all future method calls to return
|
|
wrapped objects. When you've finished the computation, use
|
|
<tt>value</tt> to retrieve the final value. Here's an example of chaining
|
|
together a <b>map/flatten/reduce</b>, in order to get the word count of
|
|
every word in a song.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
var lyrics = [
|
|
{line: 1, words: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay"},
|
|
{line: 2, words: "I sleep all night and I work all day"},
|
|
{line: 3, words: "He's a lumberjack and he's okay"},
|
|
{line: 4, words: "He sleeps all night and he works all day"}
|
|
];
|
|
|
|
_.chain(lyrics)
|
|
.map(function(line) { return line.words.split(' '); })
|
|
.flatten()
|
|
.reduce(function(counts, word) {
|
|
counts[word] = (counts[word] || 0) + 1;
|
|
return counts;
|
|
}, {})
|
|
.value();
|
|
|
|
=> {lumberjack: 2, all: 4, night: 2 ... }</pre>
|
|

|
|
In addition, the
|
|
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/prototype">Array prototype's methods</a>
|
|
are proxied through the chained Underscore object, so you can slip a

modify the array.

Removed the ability to call <tt>_.bindAll</tt> with no method name

<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Many improvements to <tt>_.template</tt>, which now provides the
|
|
<tt>source</tt> of the template function as a property, for potentially
|
|
even more efficient pre-compilation on the server-side. You may now
|
|
also set the <tt>variable</tt> option when creating a template,
|
|
which will cause your passed-in data to be made available under the
|
|
variable you named, instead of using a <tt>with</tt> statement —
|
|
significantly improving the speed of rendering the template.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added the <tt>pick</tt> function, which allows you to filter an
|
|
object literal with a whitelist of allowed property names.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added the <tt>result</tt> function, for convenience when working
|
|
with APIs that allow either functions or raw properties.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Added the <tt>isFinite</tt> function, because sometimes knowing that
|
|
a value is a number just ain't quite enough.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <tt>sortBy</tt> function may now also be passed the string name
|
|
of a property to use as the sort order on each object.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Fixed <tt>uniq</tt> to work with sparse arrays.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <tt>difference</tt> function now performs a shallow flatten
|
|
instead of a deep one when computing array differences.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <tt>debounce</tt> function now takes an <tt>immediate</tt>

Sparse array support of <tt>_.indexOf</tt>, <tt>_.lastIndexOf</tt>.

Both <tt>_.reduce</tt> and <tt>_.reduceRight</tt> can now be passed an

Continued tweaks to <tt>_.isEqual</tt> semantics. Now JS primitives are

Various improvements for support of sparse arrays.

<b class="header">1.1.6</b> — <small><i>April 18, 2011</i></small><br />

<tt>_.every</tt> now requires an iterator function to be passed, which

<tt>_.extend</tt> no longer copies keys when the value is undefined.

<tt>_.bind</tt> now errors when trying to bind an undefined value.

<p>

<b class="header">1.1.5</b> — <small><i>Mar 20, 2011</i></small><br />

<tt>_.bind</tt> now delegates to the native ECMAScript 5 version,

Improved compliance with ES5's Array methods when passing <tt>null</tt>

finding the insertion index in an array that is guaranteed to already

<b class="header">1.1.3</b> — <small><i>Dec 1, 2010</i></small><br />
|
|
In CommonJS, Underscore may now be required with just: <br />
|
|
<tt>var _ = require("underscore")</tt>.
|
|
Added <tt>_.throttle</tt> and <tt>_.debounce</tt> functions.
|
|
Removed <tt>_.breakLoop</tt>, in favor of an ECMA5-style un-<i>break</i>-able
|
|
each implementation — this removes the try/catch, and you'll now have
|
|
better stack traces for exceptions that are thrown within an Underscore iterator.
|
|
Improved the <b>isType</b> family of functions for better interoperability
|
|
with Internet Explorer host objects.
|
|
<tt>_.template</tt> now correctly escapes backslashes in templates.
|
|
Improved <tt>_.reduce</tt> compatibility with the ECMA5 version:
|
|
if you don't pass an initial value, the first item in the collection is used.
|
|
<tt>_.each</tt> no longer returns the iterated collection, for improved

Fixed <tt>_.contains</tt>, which was mistakenly pointing at

The method signature of <tt>_.reduce</tt> has been changed to match

the ECMAScript 5 signature, instead of the Ruby/Prototype.js version.
|
|
This is a backwards-incompatible change. <tt>_.template</tt> may now be

Patch that makes <tt>_.isEqual</tt> return <tt>false</tt> if any property

Fixes <tt>_.isArguments</tt> in recent versions of Opera, which have
|
|
arguments objects as real Arrays.

Things have been stable for many months now, so Underscore is now
|
|
considered to be out of beta, at <b>1.0</b>. Improvements since <b>0.6</b>
|
|
include <tt>_.isBoolean</tt>, and the ability to have <tt>_.extend</tt>
|
|
take multiple source objects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.6.0</b><br />
|
|
Major release. Incorporates a number of
|
|
<a href="http://github.com/ratbeard">Mile Frawley's</a> refactors for
|
|
safer duck-typing on collection functions, and cleaner internals. A new
|
|
<tt>_.mixin</tt> method that allows you to extend Underscore with utility
|
|
functions of your own. Added <tt>_.times</tt>, which works the same as in
|
|
Ruby or Prototype.js. Native support for ECMAScript 5's <tt>Array.isArray</tt>,
|
|
and <tt>Object.keys</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.5.8</b><br />
|
|
Fixed Underscore's collection functions to work on
|
|
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/NodeList">NodeLists</a> and
|
|
<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/HTMLCollection">HTMLCollections</a>
|

|
|
New implementations of <tt>isArray</tt>, <tt>isDate</tt>, <tt>isFunction</tt>,
|
|
<tt>isNumber</tt>, <tt>isRegExp</tt>, and <tt>isString</tt>, thanks to
|
|
a suggestion from
|
|
<a href="http://www.broofa.com/">Robert Kieffer</a>.
|
|
Instead of doing <tt>Object#toString</tt>
|
|
comparisons, they now check for expected properties, which is less safe,
|
|
but more than an order of magnitude faster. Most other Underscore
|
|
functions saw minor speed improvements as a result.
|
|
<a href="http://dolzhenko.org/">Evgeniy Dolzhenko</a>
|
|
contributed <tt>_.tap</tt>,
|
|
<a href="http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/classes/Object.html#M000191">similar to Ruby 1.9's</a>,
|
|
which is handy for injecting side effects (like logging) into chained calls.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.5.1</b><br />
|
|
Added an <tt>_.isArguments</tt> function. Lots of little safety checks
|
|
and optimizations contributed by
|
|
<a href="http://github.com/iamnoah/">Noah Sloan</a> and
|
|
<a href="http://themoell.com/">Andri Möll</a>.

|
|
<b class="header">0.5.0</b><br />
|
|
<b>[API Changes]</b> <tt>_.bindAll</tt> now takes the context object as
|
|
its first parameter. If no method names are passed, all of the context
|
|
object's methods are bound to it, enabling chaining and easier binding.
|
|
<tt>_.functions</tt> now takes a single argument and returns the names
|
|
of its Function properties. Calling <tt>_.functions(_)</tt> will get you
|
|
the previous behavior.
|
|
Added <tt>_.isRegExp</tt> so that <tt>isEqual</tt> can now test for RegExp equality.
|
|
All of the "is" functions have been shrunk down into a single definition.
|
|
<a href="http://github.com/grayrest/">Karl Guertin</a> contributed patches.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.7</b><br />
|
|
Added <tt>isDate</tt>, <tt>isNaN</tt>, and <tt>isNull</tt>, for completeness.
|
|
Optimizations for <tt>isEqual</tt> when checking equality between Arrays
|
|
or Dates. <tt>_.keys</tt> is now <small><i><b>25%–2X</b></i></small> faster (depending on your
|
|
browser) which speeds up the functions that rely on it, such as <tt>_.each</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.6</b><br />
|
|
Added the <tt>range</tt> function, a port of the
|
|
<a href="http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#range">Python
|
|
function of the same name</a>, for generating flexibly-numbered lists
|
|
of integers. Original patch contributed by
|
|
<a href="http://github.com/kylichuku">Kirill Ishanov</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.5</b><br />
|
|
Added <tt>rest</tt> for Arrays and arguments objects, and aliased
|
|
<tt>first</tt> as <tt>head</tt>, and <tt>rest</tt> as <tt>tail</tt>,
|
|
thanks to <a href="http://github.com/lukesutton/">Luke Sutton</a>'s patches.
|
|
Added tests ensuring that all Underscore Array functions also work on
|
|
<i>arguments</i> objects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.4</b><br />
|
|
Added <tt>isString</tt>, and <tt>isNumber</tt>, for consistency. Fixed
|
|
<tt>_.isEqual(NaN, NaN)</tt> to return <i>true</i> (which is debatable).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.3</b><br />
|
|
Started using the native <tt>StopIteration</tt> object in browsers that support it.
|
|
Fixed Underscore setup for CommonJS environments.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.2</b><br />
|
|
Renamed the unwrapping function to <tt>value</tt>, for clarity.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.1</b><br />
|
|
Chained Underscore objects now support the Array prototype methods, so
|
|
that you can perform the full range of operations on a wrapped array
|
|
without having to break your chain. Added a <tt>breakLoop</tt> method
|
|
to <b>break</b> in the middle of any Underscore iteration. Added an
|
|
<tt>isEmpty</tt> function that works on arrays and objects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.4.0</b><br />
|
|
All Underscore functions can now be called in an object-oriented style,
|
|
like so: <tt>_([1, 2, 3]).map(...);</tt>. Original patch provided by
|
|
<a href="http://macournoyer.com/">Marc-André Cournoyer</a>.
|
|
Wrapped objects can be chained through multiple
|
|
method invocations. A <a href="#object-functions"><tt>functions</tt></a> method
|
|
was added, providing a sorted list of all the functions in Underscore.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.3.3</b><br />
|
|
Added the JavaScript 1.8 function <tt>reduceRight</tt>. Aliased it
|
|
as <tt>foldr</tt>, and aliased <tt>reduce</tt> as <tt>foldl</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.3.2</b><br />
|
|
Now runs on stock <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/">Rhino</a>
|
|
interpreters with: <tt>load("underscore.js")</tt>.
|
|
Added <a href="#identity"><tt>identity</tt></a> as a utility function.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.3.1</b><br />
|
|
All iterators are now passed in the original collection as their third
|
|
argument, the same as JavaScript 1.6's <b>forEach</b>. Iterating over
|
|
objects is now called with <tt>(value, key, collection)</tt>, for details
|
|
see <a href="#each"><tt>_.each</tt></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.3.0</b><br />
|
|
Added <a href="http://github.com/dmitryBaranovskiy">Dmitry Baranovskiy</a>'s
|
|
comprehensive optimizations, merged in
|
|
<a href="http://github.com/kriskowal/">Kris Kowal</a>'s patches to make Underscore
|
|
<a href="http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/CommonJS">CommonJS</a> and
|
|
<a href="http://narwhaljs.org/">Narwhal</a> compliant.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.2.0</b><br />
|
|
Added <tt>compose</tt> and <tt>lastIndexOf</tt>, renamed <tt>inject</tt> to
|
|
<tt>reduce</tt>, added aliases for <tt>inject</tt>, <tt>filter</tt>,
|
|
<tt>every</tt>, <tt>some</tt>, and <tt>forEach</tt>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.1.1</b><br />
|
|
Added <tt>noConflict</tt>, so that the "Underscore" object can be assigned to
|
|
other variables.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b class="header">0.1.0</b><br />
