Learning Lodash 4.0

Deploy your application ready for production using minification.
Build a reusable base view framework using Lodash for future application development.
Create build tasks for your JavaScript applications that use Lodash modules.

Lodash was built. to simplify JavaScript application development. It contains hundreds of methods built for the purpose of providing developers with a fast, reliable, cross-browser toolkit for writing applications. With Lodash, you can eliminate the rewriting codeplot and focus on developing the features your users want.

This course takes you through the process of setting up, building, and scripting the deployment of a JavaScript application built using Lodash. Each section explores a new Lodash API, and employs methods for building new application features.

First, we cover the origins of Lodash and how it has become an indispensable tool for JavaScript developers. We will also install our application and its dependencies. Then we’ll build out the features of an application to explore, create, and tag recipes. This includes building both APIs in Node.JS and a client-side application using Lodash.

At the end, we’ll write a script to minimize our application for deployment, and look at alternate deployment methods using Lodash CLI. This course will provide you with the practical uses of Lodash in JavaScript development that you can apply in future applications. By the end of the book, you’ll know the principles of building structured and modular applications using Lodash.
