I am trying to use lodash in a Node.js project. If I require the module using the following statement, it works fine:

var lodash = require("lodash");

However, if I change the statement to something like this:

var _ = require("lodash");

then the variable underscore _ is undefined. Not sure why this is happening and also could not find anything online regarding this.

this code `var _ = require("lodash");` works well in my project... – zangw Feb 29 '16 at 14:01
