Split JavaScript array in chunks using Lodash

Take a look at lodash' chunk: https://lodash.com/docs#chunk

const data = ["a1", "a2", "a3", "a4", "a5", "a6", "a7", "a8", "a9", "a10", "a11", "a12", "a13"];
const chunks = _.chunk(data, 3);
console.log(chunks);
// [
//  ["a1", "a2", "a3"],
//  ["a4", "a5", "a6"],
//  ["a7", "a8", "a9"],
//  ["a10", "a11", "a12"],
//  ["a13"]
// ]

For Underscore based solution try this:

var data = ["a1", "a2", "a3", "a4", "a5", "a6", "a7", "a8", "a9", "a10", "a11", "a12", "a13"];
var n = 3;
var lists = _.groupBy(data, function(element, index){
  return Math.floor(index/n);
});
lists = _.toArray(lists); //Added this to convert the returned object to an array.
console.log(lists);

Using the chain wrapper method you can combine the two statements as below:

var data = ["a1", "a2", "a3", "a4", "a5", "a6", "a7", "a8", "a9", "a10", "a11", "a12", "a13"];
var n = 3;
var lists = _.chain(data).groupBy(function(element, index){
  return Math.floor(index/n);
}).toArray()
.value();

A possibly simpler expression:

const coll = [ "a1", "a2", "a3", "a4", "a5", "a6", "a7", "a8", "a9" ];
const n = 2;
const chunks = _.range(coll.length / n).map(i => coll.slice(i * n, (i + 1) * n));
console.log(chunks);
