This method returns an empty string. Part of Lodash Util since 4.13.0 (stable — not deprecated).
Note: Arguments are ignored. Equivalent idea to _.constant(''), with a clearer name for empty-string stubs.
Call _.stubString. Start with this line.
_.stubString()| Call | What it does |
|---|---|
_.stubString() | Primary signature. |
_.stubString(...) | Call the util helper. |
Prefer import stubString from "lodash/stubString" when you want a smaller bundle.
_.stubString()This method has no parameters beyond those shown in the signature.
| Return Value | Description |

| * | Always '' |
_.times + stubStringBuild an array of empty strings.
_.times(2, _.stubString);
// → ['', '']_.stubString — no trailing ()._.times calls it for indexes 0 and 1.''.['', ''].Invoke the stub yourself when you need an empty string now.
_.stubString();
// → ""
_.stubString().length;
// → 0''..length is 0.Host APIs may pass indexes or values — the stub still returns ''.
_.stubString("hello");
// → ""
_.stubString(1, 2, 3);
// → """hello" does not pass through.''._.identity, input never returns.joinFill slots with empty strings, then join with a separator.
_.times(3, _.stubString).join("-");
// → "--"['', '', '']."-" sits between empties."--" — two dashes, no text.stubString vs constant('')Both return empty strings; naming differs.
_.stubString();
// → ""
_.constant("")();
// → ""
_.times(2, _.constant(""));
// → ["", ""]_.stubString is a Lodash Util helper since 4.13.0. It runs anywhere Lodash 4.13+ runs — modern browsers (CDN or bundle) and Node.js / Bun / Deno with npm install lodash.
Available in [email protected] full builds and the lodash/stubString modular import. Works in evergreen browsers and current Node LTS when Lodash ≥ 4.13 is installed.
Bottom line: Safe for production once Lodash 4.13+ is loaded. Prefer import stubString from "lodash/stubString" for smaller bundles. Use it as a named always-empty-string callback.
Return true on every call — the opposite boolean stub.
