Underscore.js is a JavaScript library that provides a lot of useful functions that help in the programming in a big way like the map, filter, invoke, etc. even without using any built-in objects.

The _.iteratee() function is an inbuilt function in Underscore which is used to generate a callback that can be applied to every element in a collection. This method supports multiple shorthand syntaxes for common callback use cases and returns the output depending on the type of the value.

Syntax:

_.iteratee( value, context )

  • value: It is the stated value.
  • context: It is the context to be used. It is an optional parameter.
