The lodash.difference function is an important part of the lodash JavaScript library. Its main function is to create an array by filtering out all the elements of the first array that are present in subsequent arrays. In other words, it compares the first array with the other arrays and removes the elements that are common, leaving behind an array with values that are unique to the first array.
To utilize lodash.difference in your JavaScript code, you will first need to install it using npm. You can do this by entering the following commands in your terminal:
$ {sudo -H} npm i -g npm
$ npm i --save lodash.difference
Next, require lodash.difference in your JavaScript file like this:
var difference = require('lodash.difference');
Now, you can use 'difference' to compare your arrays. Let's assume you have two arrays 'array1' and 'array2', the code would look something like this:
var array1 = [1, 2, 3];
var array2 = [2, 3, 4];
console.log(difference(array1, array2)); // output: [1]
In the returned array, only the values that are unique to the first array (array1) are preserved.
Please remember to substitute 'array1' and 'array2' with your own arrays.
