Lodash is a JavaScript library that works on the top of underscore.js. Lodash helps in working with arrays, strings, objects, numbers, etc. The _.identity method returns the first argument it receives.

Syntax:

_.identity(value)

Parameters: This method accepts one parameter as mentioned above and described below:

value: It can be any value.

Returns: Returns the first argument it receives.

Example 1:

// Requiring the lodash library   
const _ = require("lodash");         
  
// Use of _.identity() method    
var user = [ 
  { 'name': 'XXXX', 'age': 36, 'active': true }, 
  { 'name': 'YYYY',   'age': 40, 'active': false } 
]; 
  
let gfg = _.identity(user); 
  
// Printing the output   
console.log(gfg);

Note: Here, const _ = require(‘lodash’) is used to import the lodash library in the file.
