- # Lo-Dash <sup>v0.9.2</sup>
- [![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/bestiejs/lodash.png)](http://travis-ci.org/bestiejs/lodash)
- A drop-in replacement<sup>[*](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/wiki/Drop-in-Disclaimer)</sup> for Underscore.js, from the devs behind [jsPerf.com](http://jsperf.com), delivering [performance](http://lodash.com/benchmarks), [bug fixes](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash#resolved-underscorejs-issues), and [additional features](http://lodash.com/#features).
- Lo-Dash’s performance is gained by avoiding slower native methods, instead opting for simplified non-ES5 compliant methods optimized for common usage, and by leveraging function compilation to reduce the number of overall function calls.

- ## Support
- Lo-Dash has been tested in at least Chrome 5~23, Firefox 1~16, IE 6-10, Opera 9.25-12, Safari 3-6, Node.js 0.4.8-0.8.14, Narwhal 0.3.2, RingoJS 0.8, and Rhino 1.7RC5.
- ## Custom builds
- Custom builds make it easy to create lightweight versions of Lo-Dash containing only the methods you need.
- To top it off, we handle all method dependency and alias mapping for you.
- * Backbone builds, with only methods required by Backbone, may be created using the `backbone` modifier argument.
- ```bash
- lodash backbone
- ```
- * CSP builds, supporting default Content Security Policy restrictions, may be created using the `csp` modifier argument.
- ```bash
- lodash csp
- ```
- * Legacy builds, tailored for older browsers without [ES5 support](http://es5.github.com/), may be created using the `legacy` modifier argument.
- ```bash
- lodash legacy
- ```
- * Mobile builds, with IE < 9 bug fixes and method compilation removed, may be created using the `mobile` modifier argument.
- ```bash
- lodash mobile
- ```
- * Strict builds, with `_.bindAll`, `_.defaults`, and `_.extend` in [strict mode](http://es5.github.com/#C), may be created using the `strict` modifier argument.
- ```bash
- lodash strict
- ```
- * Underscore builds, tailored for projects already using Underscore, may be created using the `underscore` modifier argument.
- ```bash
- lodash underscore
- ```
- Custom builds may be created using the following commands:
- * Use the `category` argument to pass comma separated categories of methods to include in the build.<br>
- Valid categories (case-insensitive) are *“arrays”*, *“chaining”*, *“collections”*, *“functions”*, *“objects”*, and *“utilities”*.
- ```bash
- lodash category=collections,functions
- lodash category="collections, functions"
- ```
- * Use the `exports` argument to pass comma separated names of ways to export the `LoDash` function.<br>
- Valid exports are *“amd”*, *“commonjs”*, *“global”*, *“node”*, and *“none”*.
- ```bash
- lodash exports=amd,commonjs,node
- lodash exports="amd, commonjs, node"
- ```
- * Use the `iife` argument to specify code to replace the immediately-invoked function expression that wraps Lo-Dash.
- ```bash
- lodash iife="!function(window,undefined){%output%}(this)"
- ```
- * Use the `include` argument to pass comma separated method/category names to include in the build.
- ```bash
- lodash include=each,filter,map
- lodash include="each, filter, map"
- ```
- * Use the `minus` argument to pass comma separated method/category names to remove from those included in the build.
- ```bash
- lodash underscore minus=result,shuffle
- lodash underscore minus="result, shuffle"
- ```
- * Use the `plus` argument to pass comma separated method/category names to add to those included in the build.
- ```bash
- lodash backbone plus=random,template
- lodash backbone plus="random, template"
- ```
- * Use the `template` argument to pass the file path pattern used to match template files to precompile.
- ```bash
- lodash template="./*.jst"
- ```
- * Use the `settings` argument to pass the template settings used when precompiling templates.
- ```bash
- lodash settings="{interpolate:/\\{\\{([\\s\\S]+?)\\}\\}/g}"
- ```
- * Use the `moduleId` argument to specify the AMD module ID of Lo-Dash, which defaults to “lodash”, used by precompiled templates.
- ```bash
- lodash moduleId="underscore"
- ```
- All arguments, except `legacy` with `csp` or `mobile`, may be combined.<br>
- Unless specified by `-o` or `--output`, all files created are saved to the current working directory.
- The following options are also supported:
- * `-c`, `--stdout` Write output to standard output
- * `-d`, `--debug` Write only the debug output
- * `-h`, `--help` Display help information
- * `-m`, `--minify` Write only the minified output
- * `-o`, `--output` Write output to a given path/filename
- * `-s`, `--silent` Skip status updates normally logged to the console
- * `-V`, `--version` Output current version of Lo-Dash
- The `lodash` command-line utility is available when Lo-Dash is installed as a global package (i.e. `npm install -g lodash`).
- ## Installation and usage
- In browsers:
- ```html
- <script src="lodash.js"></script>
- ```
- Using [npm](http://npmjs.org/):
- ```bash
- npm install lodash
- npm install -g lodash
- npm link lodash
- ```
- In [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [RingoJS v0.8.0+](http://ringojs.org/):
- ```js
- var _ = require('lodash');
- ```
- **Note:** If Lo-Dash is installed globally, [run `npm link lodash`](http://blog.nodejs.org/2011/03/23/npm-1-0-global-vs-local-installation/) in your project’s root directory before requiring it.
- In [RingoJS v0.7.0-](http://ringojs.org/):
- ```js
- var _ = require('lodash')._;
- ```
- In [Rhino](http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/):
- ```js
- load('lodash.js');
- ```
- In an AMD loader like [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org/):
- ```js
- require({
- 'paths': {
- 'underscore': 'path/to/lodash'
- }
- },
- ['underscore'], function(_) {
- console.log(_.VERSION);
- });
- ```
