This chapter focused on using Lo-Dash in the broader context of frontend development. Achieving modularity is made easier with technologies such as RequireJS. We looked at several ways to do this, and Lo-Dash has built-in support for these types on environments. We learned that Lo-Dash is a very focused library, helping the developer to write clean and efficient code while ignoring other things. The things that Lo-Dash isn't good at are nicely covered by other stable libraries such as jQuery and Backbone. We also wrote some Lo-Dash code that directly helps these libraries, both from a performance perspective and a functionality perspective.

We closed the chapter with a look at Node.js, and how it's possible to write Lo-Dash code for applications that run outside the browser. There's also a Node package that is used to build Lo-Dash and you can customize these builds to include whatever you like. Now that we've covered much ground on what you can do as a Lo-Dash programmer from the...
