lodash.noop

What is lodash.noop?

The lodash.noop package is a utility function from the Lodash library that performs no operations. It is often used as a placeholder function when a function is required but no operation is needed.

What are lodash.noop's main functionalities?

No Operation Function

The lodash.noop function can be used as a placeholder for callbacks or other function arguments where no operation is needed. In the example, `exampleFunction` expects a callback, and `_.noop` is passed to fulfill that requirement without performing any action.

const _ = require('lodash.noop');

function exampleFunction(callback) {
  callback();
}

exampleFunction(_.noop); // This will do nothing

noop3

The noop3 package provides a similar no-operation function. It is a simple, lightweight alternative to lodash.noop. Like lodash.noop, it can be used as a placeholder function. However, it does not come with the additional utilities provided by Lodash.

just-noop

The just-noop package is another minimalistic no-operation function. It serves the same purpose as lodash.noop but is part of the 'just' series of utility functions, which are designed to be small and focused on a single task.
