# lodash v4.3.0 The [lodash](https://lodash.com/) library exported as a [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd) module. Generated using [lodash-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash-cli): ```bash $ npm run build $ lodash -o ./dist/lodash.js $ lodash core -o ./dist/lodash.core.js ``` ## Why Lodash? Lodash makes JavaScript easier by taking the hassle out of working with arrays,
numbers, objects, strings, etc. Lodash’s modular methods are great for: * Iterating arrays, objects, & strings * Manipulating & testing values * Creating composite functions ## Community [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/lodash/lodash.svg)](https://gitter.im/lodash/lodash) ## Documentation * [API Documentation](https://lodash.com/docs) * [DevDocs – *a searchable interface for our documentation*](https://devdocs.io/lodash/) ## Download Lodash is released under the [MIT license](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lodash/lodash/4.3.0/LICENSE) & supports [modern environments](#support).
