Lodash _.create() Method

Lodash _.create() method creates an object that inherits from the prototype object. If a properties object is given, its own enumerable string keyed properties are assigned to the created object.

Syntax:

_.create( proto_obj, property_object);

Parameters:

  • proto_obj: This is the object to inherit from.
  • property_object: These are the properties to assign to the object.

Return Value:

This method returns a new object.

Example 1: In this example, we are creating an object having a prototype of Beginner by the use of the lodash _.create() method.

javascript




// Defining Lodash variable
const _ = require('lodash');
 
function Beginner() {
  return true;
}
  
let GFG = _.create(Beginner.prototype, {
  'w3wiki': "Computer Science Portal"
});
 
console.log(GFG);


Output:

Beginner { w3wiki: 'Computer Science Portal' }

Example 2: In this example, we are creating an object having a prototype of protoFunc by the use of the lodash _.create() method.

javascript




// Defining Lodash variable
const _ = require('lodash');
 
function protoFunc() {
    return 'Geek';
}
 
let GFG = _.create(protoFunc.prototype, {
    'a': 'b'
});
 
console.log(GFG);


Output:

protoFunc { a: 'b' }

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the lodash library to be installed and can be installed using the following command:

npm install lodash
