This isn't really an issue, but it might be worth noting in the README that running .clear breaks the lodash binding. I found this SO answer to be helpful in understanding why this is: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18971406/270949

Great tool, by the way. Thanks for putting it together.

Hey @borisdiakur love your library, but I think I'm doing something wrong, I can't get _.toInteger() to work, I get an error - when I install globally I think it's still doing lodash major v 3?

let me know if there is a certain area I can look at to submit a pull request. thanks for the awesome library!

With the release of [Lodash 4.0], it will be nice to upgrade n_ to the latest release.

Also it will be nice to tag the n_ repo same as the lodash version.

Using [email protected] and [email protected], (almost) any input results in this warning being printed:

DeprecationWarning: Calling an asynchronous function without callback is deprecated.

I was looking at trymodule and noticed it used repl.history
and thought it might be a good thing for n_ too.

I think some shells have a repl history baked in so not too sure if it's needed.

Local NodeJS version is v20.10.0:
$ node -v
v20.10.0

After installing:
npm install -g n_

Running n_ does not work, seems to show an error within the interactive session:
$ n_
n_ > Value of "this" must be of type nullish or must be the global object

I'm using n_ 1.3.0 and Node 6.0.0.

Instead of being assigned to the most recent output (as it was in Node 5), the variable $ is simply assigned to lodash in Node 6.

n_ > 123
123
n_ > $ // should be 123
{ [Function: lodash]
  templateSettings: 
   { escape: /<%-([\s\S]+?)%>/g,
     evaluate: /<%([\s\S]+?)%>/g,
     interpolate: /<%=([\s\S]+?)%>/g,
     variable: '',
     imports: { _: [Circular] } },
  after: [Function: after],
  ...
}

The issue might be related to this change.

Would be useful to be able to specify which lodash version n_ relies on, since I'm working on a project that still relies on version 3.10.1.

Not sure if that's possible (npm/npm#5499 may be relevant), but at the very least I'll probably just fork and patch for now 😄

I have a weird error: if I run a multi-line command in the REPL (one that causes the ... prefix) and I run that command before I run any command containing _, the binding to lodash gets lost somehow.

You should be able to repeat this behavior by starting n_ and immediately running the two commands found in this example. It should work with any arbitrary multi-line command, as long as that command occurs before any usage of _.

If you run a command containing _ first, there is no problem. Is this expected behavior?

when i am trying to install npm this error is showing up. I tried cleaning cache, deleting node_modules, reinstalling node.js and installing n_ package manually and the problem is still exist.

The _ character is special in the Node REPL. See nodejs.org/api/repl.html.
So that means after doing something like > 1 + 2, which will produce 3, the value of _ is 3.

See joyent/node/lib/repl.js.

It would be worth noting in the readme that the special REPL variable _ has been redirected to $.

A deprecation warning is showing in node v12

(node:15107) [DEP0124] DeprecationWarning: REPLServer.rli is deprecated

Ref: https://nodejs.org/api/deprecations.html#deprecations_dep0124_using_replserver_rli

Usage: https://github.com/borisdiakur/n_/blob/master/lib/n_.js#L72

- var events = server.rli._events;
+ var events = server._events;

How to reproduce?

1. node -v && npm -v
   v12.0.0
   6.9.0
2. Install n_ globally
3. Open REPL using n_ --fp

Unit tests would rock. For a reference grunt-lodash uses nodeunit.

n_: 1.4.3
npm: 4.0.5
OS: Linux (Arch)

Running:

npm ls -g --depth 0

results in the following error:

npm ERR! extraneous: lodash3 ~/.nvm/versions/node/v7.2.1/lib/node_modules/n_/node_modules/lodash3
npm ERR! error in ~/.nvm/versions/node/v7.2.1/lib/node_modules/n_/node_modules/lodash3: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '~/.nvm/versions/node/v7.2.1/lib/node_modules/n_/node_modules/lodash3/package.json'

This error doesn't occur with [email protected]. Something to do with this?

And other ES6 transpiler REPLs. I know it's not very open-source-spririted of me (not having a solution to share), but I love n_ so much I'm not sure I can use babel-node without babel-n_.
