Last Updated : 25 Nov, 2021
Underscore.js is a JavaScript library that provides a lot of useful functions that help in the programming in a big way like the map, filter, invoke, etc even without using any built-in objects.
The _.after() function is an inbuilt function in Underscore.js library of JavaScript which is used to create a wrapper of function which doesn’t do anything in the beginning but from the stated count it starts calling the stated function. Moreover, it is useful in a grouping of asynchronous responses, as you need to be sure if all the async calls have ended or not before preceding.
Syntax:
_.after(count, function)
Parameters: It accepts two parameters which are specified below:
- count: It is the number of counts after which the stated function will be called.
- function: It is the function stated.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

</head>
<body>
`` <button id= "button" >button</button>
`` <script>
`` show = () => {
`` console.log( "GeeksforGeeks" )
`` }
`` func = _.after(3, show);
`` let button = document.querySelector( "#button" );
`` let Run = () => {
console.log(Show `` function runs for `` 8 times:) ``
`` for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
`` func();
`` }
`` }
`` button.addEventListener( "click" , Run)
`` </script>
</body>
</html>
