<h1>Underscore.js</h1>
<p>
<a href="https://github.com/documentcloud/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/api">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://docs.jquery.com">jQuery</a>'s tux.
</p>
<p>
Underscore provides 60-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>
<p>
A complete <a href="test/test.html">Test & Benchmark Suite</a>
is included for your perusal.
</p>
<p>
You may also read through the <a href="docs/underscore.html">annotated source code</a>.
</p>
<p>
The project is
<a href="https://github.com/documentcloud/underscore/">hosted on GitHub</a>.
You can report bugs and discuss features on the
<a href="https://github.com/documentcloud/underscore/issues">issues page</a>,
on Freenode in the <tt>#documentcloud</tt> channel,
or send tweets to <a href="http://twitter.com/documentcloud">@documentcloud</a>.

<b>Chaining</b>

</p>
<div id="documentation">
<h2 id="styles">Object-Oriented and Functional Styles</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>
Using the object-oriented style allows you to chain together methods. Calling
<tt>chain</tt> on a wrapped object will cause all future method calls to
return wrapped objects as well. 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"}
];
_(lyrics).chain()
.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>
<p>
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
<tt>reverse</tt> or a <tt>push</tt> into your chain, and continue to
modify the array.
</p>
<h2>Collection Functions (Arrays or Objects)</h2>
<p id="each">
<b class="header">each</b><code>_.each(list, iterator, [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>forEach</b></span>
<br />
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], function(num){ alert(num); });
=> alerts each number in turn...
_.each({one : 1, two : 2, three : 3}, function(num, key){ alert(num); });

<p id="map">
<b class="header">map</b><code>_.map(list, iterator, [context])</code>
<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>.
</p>
<pre>
_.map([1, 2, 3], function(num){ return num * 3; });

<span class="alias">Aliases: <b>inject, foldl</b></span>
<br />
Also known as <b>inject</b> and <b>foldl</b>, <b>reduce</b> boils down a

<b>iterator</b>.
</p>
<pre>
var sum = _.reduce([1, 2, 3], function(memo, num){ return memo + num; }, 0);

the values that pass a truth test (<b>iterator</b>). Delegates to the
native <b>filter</b> method, if it exists.
</p>
<pre>
var evens = _.select([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], function(num){ return num % 2 == 0; });

<b class="header">any</b><code>_.any(list, [iterator], [context])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>some</b></span>
<br />
Returns <i>true</i> if any of the values in the <b>list</b> pass the
<b>iterator</b> truth test. Short-circuits and stops traversing the list
if a true element is found. Delegates to the native method <b>some</b>,

<pre>
_.any([null, 0, 'yes', false]);
=> true
</pre>
<p id="include">
<b class="header">include</b><code>_.include(list, value)</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>contains</b></span>
<br />
Returns <i>true</i> if the <b>value</b> is present in the <b>list</b>, using
<i>===</i> to test equality. Uses <b>indexOf</b> internally, if <b>list</b>
is an Array.

</pre>
<p id="max">
<b class="header">max</b><code>_.max(list, [iterator], [context])</code>
<br />
Returns the maximum value in <b>list</b>. If <b>iterator</b> is passed,
it will be used on each value to generate the criterion by which the
value is ranked.
</p>
<pre>
var stooges = [{name : 'moe', age : 40}, {name : 'larry', age : 50}, {name : 'curly', age : 60}];

</pre>
<p id="min">
<b class="header">min</b><code>_.min(list, [iterator], [context])</code>
<br />
Returns the minimum value in <b>list</b>. If <b>iterator</b> is passed,

<b class="header">sortedIndex</b><code>_.sortedIndex(list, value, [iterator])</code>
<br />
Uses a binary search to determine the index at which the <b>value</b>
<i>should</i> be inserted into the <b>list</b> in order to maintain the <b>list</b>'s
sorted order. If an <b>iterator</b> is passed, it will be used to compute
the sort ranking of each value.
</p>
<pre>
_.sortedIndex([10, 20, 30, 40, 50], 35);
=> 3
</pre>
<p id="toArray">
<b class="header">toArray</b><code>_.toArray(list)</code>

<br />
Return the number of values in the <b>list</b>.
</p>
<pre>
_.size({one : 1, two : 2, three : 3});
=> 3
</pre>
<h2>Array Functions</h2>
<p>
<i>Note: All array functions will also work on the <b>arguments</b> object.</i>

to return the values of the array from that index onward.
</p>
<pre>
_.rest([5, 4, 3, 2, 1]);
=> [4, 3, 2, 1]
</pre>
<p id="last">
<b class="header">last</b><code>_.last(array)</code>

<b class="header">uniq</b><code>_.uniq(array, [isSorted])</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>unique</b></span>
<br />
Produces a duplicate-free version of the <b>array</b>, using <i>===</i> to test
object equality. If you know in advance that the <b>array</b> is sorted,

<b class="header">zip</b><code>_.zip(*arrays)</code>
<br />
Merges together the values of each of the <b>arrays</b> with the
values at the corresponding position. Useful when you have separate
data sources that are coordinated through matching array indexes.
If you're working with a matrix of nested arrays, <b>zip.apply</b>
can transpose the matrix in a similar fashion.
</p>
<pre>
_.zip(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]);
=> [["moe", 30, true], ["larry", 40, false], ["curly", 50, false]]
</pre>
<p id="indexOf">
<b class="header">indexOf</b><code>_.indexOf(array, value, [isSorted])</code>
<br />
Returns the index at which <b>value</b> can be found in the <b>array</b>,
or <i>-1</i> if value is not present in the <b>array</b>. Uses the native
<b>indexOf</b> function unless it's missing. If you're working with a
large array, and you know that the array is already sorted, pass <tt>true</tt>
for <b>isSorted</b> to use a faster binary search.
</p>
<pre>
_.indexOf([1, 2, 3], 2);
=> 1
</pre>
<p id="lastIndexOf">
<b class="header">lastIndexOf</b><code>_.lastIndexOf(array, value)</code>

</pre>
<h2>Function (uh, ahem) Functions</h2>
<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, bind <b>arguments</b> to the <b>function</b> to pre-fill them,
also known as <b>currying</b>.
</p>
<pre>
var func = function(greeting){ return greeting + ': ' + this.name };
func = _.bind(func, {name : 'moe'}, 'hi');
func();
=> 'hi: moe'
</pre>
<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>. If no <b>methodNames</b> are provided, all of the object's
function properties will be bound to it.
</p>
<pre>
var buttonView = {
label : 'underscore',
onClick : function(){ alert('clicked: ' + this.label); },
onHover : function(){ console.log('hovering: ' + this.label); }
};
_.bindAll(buttonView);
jQuery('#underscore_button').bind('click', buttonView.onClick);
=> When the button is clicked, this.label will have the correct value...
</pre>
<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 = function(n) {
return n < 2 ? n : fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
};
var fastFibonacci = _.memoize(fibonacci);
</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');
=> 'logged later' // Appears after one second.
</pre>
<p id="defer">
<b class="header">defer</b><code>_.defer(function)</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.
</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)</code>
<br />
Returns a throttled version of the function, that, when invoked repeatedly,
will only actually call the wrapped 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>
<pre>
var throttled = _.throttle(updatePosition, 100);
$(window).scroll(throttled);
</pre>
<p id="debounce">
<b class="header">debounce</b><code>_.debounce(function, wait)</code>
<br />
Repeated calls to a debounced function will postpone it's execution
until after <b>wait</b> milliseconds have elapsed. 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...
</p>
<pre>
var lazyLayout = _.debounce(calculateLayout, 300);
$(window).resize(lazyLayout);
</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();
initialize();
// Application is only created once.
</pre>
<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) {
note.asyncSave({success: renderNotes});
});
// renderNotes is run once, after all notes have saved.
</pre>
<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) {
return "before, " + func("moe") + ", after";
});
hello();
=> 'before, hello: moe, after'
</pre>
<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>
<pre>
var greet = function(name){ return "hi: " + name; };
var exclaim = function(statement){ return statement + "!"; };
var welcome = _.compose(exclaim, greet);
welcome('moe');
=> 'hi: moe!'
</pre>

<p id="functions">
<b class="header">functions</b><code>_.functions(object)</code>
<span class="alias">Alias: <b>methods</b></span>
<br />

</pre>
<p id="extend">
<b class="header">extend</b><code>_.extend(destination, *sources)</code>
<br />

_.extend({name : 'moe'}, {age : 50});
=> {name : 'moe', age : 50}
</pre>
<p id="defaults">
<b class="header">defaults</b><code>_.defaults(object, *defaults)</code>
<br />
Fill in missing properties in <b>object</b> with default values from the
<b>defaults</b> objects. As soon as the property is filled, further defaults

<br />
Create a shallow-copied clone of the <b>object</b>. Any nested objects
or arrays will be copied by reference, not duplicated.
</p>

=> {name : 'moe'};
</pre>
<p id="tap">
<b class="header">tap</b><code>_.tap(object, interceptor)</code>
<br />
Invokes <b>interceptor</b> with the <b>object</b>, and then returns <b>object</b>.
The primary purpose of this method is to "tap into" a method chain, in order to perform operations on intermediate results within the chain.
