Using Underscore.js library in Qt Quick

Underscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects.

(http://underscorejs.org/)

Unfortunately you cannot just import Underscore like:

import "underscore.js" as Underscore<code>
due [http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-javascript-hostenvironment.html#javascript-environment-restrictions immutable root object]

The workaround is to modify ''underscore.js'' so that it returned underscore object via special ''init'' function.

This is a diff output for Underscore.js version 1.4.4:

Now you can use it in your project:

import "underscore.js" as Underscore // … property var _: Underscore.init();

Drawback of this approach is the following warning in application console:
