Last Updated : 30 Aug, 2024

Lodash _.drop() method is used to drop the elements in a given array.

Syntax:

_.drop(array, number);

Parameters:

Array: It is the original array from which the elements are to be removed.
Number: It is the number of elements to be removed from the array.

Note: The elements are removed from the index 0 of the array.

Return Value:

It returns the sliced array.

Example 1: In this example, we are dropping 2 elements of an array and printing the rest of the elements by the use of the _.drop() method.

JavaScript

// Requiring the lodash library const _ = require("lodash"); // Original array let array = ["a", "b", "c", "d"] // using drop() method to remove // first two elements let newArray = _.drop(array, 2) // Printing original array  console.log("before : ", array) // Printing array after applying // drop function console.log("after : ", newArray)

Output:

Example 2: In this example, we are dropping 10 elements of an array and the number od dropping elements is higher than it's length so it will print the empty array.

JavaScript

// Requiring the lodash library let _ = require("lodash"); // Original array let array = [1, 2, "a", "b", "c", "d"] // Using drop() method to remove // first 10 elements let newArray = _.drop(array, 10) // Printing original array  console.log("before : ", array) // Printing array after applying // drop function console.log("after : ", newArray)
