- <a href="#_compactarray">#</a> [Ⓢ](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js#L3166 "View in source") [Ⓣ][1]
- Creates an array with all falsey values of `array` removed. The values `false`, `null`, `0`, `""`, `undefined` and `NaN` are all falsey.
- #### Arguments
- 1. `array` *(Array)*: The array to compact.
- #### Returns
- *(Array)*: Returns a new filtered array.
- #### Example
- ```js
- _.compact([0, 1, false, 2, '', 3]);
- // => [1, 2, 3]
- ```

- <a href="#_differencearray--array1-array2-">#</a> [Ⓢ](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js#L3196 "View in source") [Ⓣ][1]
- Creates an array of `array` elements not present in the other arrays using strict equality for comparisons, i.e. `===`.
- #### Arguments
- 1. `array` *(Array)*: The array to process.
- 2. `[array1, array2, ...]` *(Array)*: Arrays to check.
- #### Returns
- *(Array)*: Returns a new array of `array` elements not present in the other arrays.

- ### <a id="_firstarray--callbackn-thisarg"></a>`_.first(array [, callback|n, thisArg])`
- <a href="#_firstarray--callbackn-thisarg">#</a> [Ⓢ](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js#L3268 "View in source") [Ⓣ][1]
- Gets the first element of the `array`. If a number `n` is passed, the first `n` elements of the `array` are returned. If a `callback` function is passed, the first elements the `callback` returns truthy for are returned. The `callback` is bound to `thisArg` and invoked with three arguments; *(value, index, array)*.
- If a property name is passed for `callback`, the created "_.pluck" style callback will return the property value of the given element.
- If an object is passed for `callback`, the created "_.where" style callback will return `true` for elements that have the propeties of the given object, else `false`.
- #### Aliases
- *head, take*
- #### Arguments
- 1. `array` *(Array)*: The array to query.
- 2. `[callback|n]` *(Function|Object|Number|String)*: The function called per element or the number of elements to return. If a property name or object is passed, it will be used to create a "_.pluck" or "_.where" style callback, respectively.
- 3. `[thisArg]` *(Mixed)*: The `this` binding of `callback`.
- #### Returns
- *(Mixed)*: Returns the first element(s) of `array`.
- #### Example
- ```js
- _.first([1, 2, 3]);
- // => 1
- _.first([1, 2, 3], 2);
- // => [1, 2]
- _.first([1, 2, 3], function(num) {

- 2. `shallow` *(Boolean)*: A flag to indicate only flattening a single level.
- #### Returns
- *(Array)*: Returns a new flattened array.
- #### Example

- Recursively merges own enumerable properties of the source object(s), that don't resolve to `undefined`, into the destination object. Subsequent sources will overwrite propery assignments of previous sources. If a `callback` function is passed, it will be executed to produce the merged values of the destination and source properties. If `callback` returns `undefined`, merging will be handled by the method instead. The `callback` is bound to `thisArg` and invoked with two arguments; *(objectValue, sourceValue)*.
- #### Arguments
- 1. `object` *(Object)*: The destination object.
- 2. `[source1, source2, ...]` *(Object)*: The source objects.
- 3. `[callback]` *(Function)*: The function to customize merging properties.
- 4. `[thisArg]` *(Mixed)*: The `this` binding of `callback`.
- #### Returns
- *(Object)*: Returns the destination object.
- #### Example
- ```js
- var names = {
- 'stooges': [
- { 'name': 'moe' },
- { 'name': 'larry' }
- ]
- };
- var ages = {
- 'stooges': [
- { 'age': 40 },

- A micro-templating method that handles arbitrary delimiters, preserves whitespace, and correctly escapes quotes within interpolated code.
- Note: In the development build, `_.template` utilizes sourceURLs for easier debugging. See http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/developertools/sourcemaps/#toc-sourceurl
- Note: Lo-Dash may be used in Chrome extensions by either creating a `lodash csp` build and using precompiled templates, or loading Lo-Dash in a sandbox.
- For more information on precompiling templates see:<br>
- http://lodash.com/#custom-builds
- For more information on Chrome extension sandboxes see:<br>
- http://developer.chrome.com/stable/extensions/sandboxingEval.html
