Javascript has many frameworks in which underscore.js is one of them. It has provided many functions in which _.where() is a function used to find elements based on a specific condition.
This method will display the elements based on whether they passed the condition or not. For suppose if we passed a condition that how many of the people from the provided array have salaries equal to 15000, then the method _.where() scrutinizes every element whether it passed the condition or not. If any of the elements passed the condition, then that particular element will be displayed as the output.
_.where( list, testCondition);
It accepts an array to scrutinize and a scrutinizing condition to evaluate the elements. The elements that have passed the condition will be displayed as the output.
In the following example, a condition is passed regarding ages and output is displayed based on the condition.
