How to create Lodash collection

Question

There is a pretty convenient way in underscore for creating underscore collection (wrapper on array):

var x = _([{"name": "John"}]);
x.findWhere({"name": "John"}); // use any underscore methods now
x; // x is underscore collection, containing one item

But Lodash 's _() creates chain. It's rather inconvenient:

var x = _([{"name": "John"}]);
x.findWhere({"name": "John"}); // use any underscore methods now
x; // chain, currently empty
x.commit(); // x is Lodash wrapper, containing one item

The question is:

How to create simple collection in Lodash but not the chain?

Answer 1

You can use commit() in the declaration and you'll get the wrapper:

var x = _([{"name": "John"}]).commit();
x.findWhere({"name": "John"}); // << this works
x; // wrapper
