lodash.noop
Advanced tools
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.
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
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.
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.
The lodash method _.noop
exported as a Node.js module.
Using npm:
$ {sudo -H} npm i -g npm
$ npm i --save lodash.noop
In Node.js:
var noop = require('lodash.noop');
See the documentation or package source for more details.
